Human chromosome 10, SEM
Human chromosome 10, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Chromosomes are a packaged form of the genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Each consists of two identical, parallel strands (chromatids, left and right), joined at an area called a centromere (centre, green). The tips (green) are called telomeres. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. This is chromosome 10, which carries between 800 and 1200 genes. Gene defects on this chromosome are related to diseases such as Usher syndrome, non-syndromic deafness, and a form of porphyria. Magnification: x25, 000 when printed 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Human Chromosome 10, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). Chromosomes are the condensed form of DNA, our genetic material. Each chromosome consists of two identical strands called chromatids, which are connected at a central region known as the centromere (highlighted in green). The green tips on either end are called telomeres. Humans possess 23 pairs of chromosomes, and this particular image depicts Chromosome 10. This chromosome carries approximately 800 to 1200 genes that play crucial roles in our biological makeup. However, gene defects occurring on this specific chromosome have been linked to various diseases such as Usher syndrome, non-syndromic deafness, and certain forms of porphyria. With a magnification level of x25,000 when printed at a height of 10 centimeters, this SEM image provides an intricate view into the world within our cells. Its vibrant colors emphasize its significance in biology and genetics research. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this stunning visual representation that not only highlights the structure and function of human chromosomes but also serves as a reminder of their vital role in heredity and inheritance patterns.
