What is metaphase?
Scientists study whole chromosomes by using images of chromosomes stained during this phase of mitosis.

What is nondisjunction?
This is the cell division during which sister chromatids fail to separate properly

What is an autosome?
Another pair of chromosomes is called this

What is concordance rate?
This rate is the percentage of twins who both express a given trait
