isochromosome [i″so-kro´mo-sōm] an abnormal chromosome having a median centromere and two identical arms, formed by transverse, rather than normal longitudinal, splitting of a replicating chromosome.i·so·chro·mo·some (ī'sō-krō'mō-sōm), A chromosomal aberration that arises as a result of transverse rather than longitudinal division of the centromere during meiosis; two daughter chromosomes are formed, each lacking one chromosome arm but with the other doubled.i·so·chro·mo·some (ī'sō-krō'mŏ-sōm) A chromosomal aberration that arises as a result of transverse rather than longitudinal division of the centromere during meiosis; two daughter chromosomes are formed, each lacking one chromosome arm but with the other doubled. isochromosome An abnormal chromosome formed when, during the ANAPHASE of cell division, the CENTROMERE divides horizontally rather than longitudinally, thus producing a chromosome with two long arms and one with two short arms. |
