Introduction:

The compact form of DNA is arranged into chromosomes. These chromosomes vary in size from organism to organism. The genetic diversity in an organism arises due to recombination of chromosomes, which occurs during meiosis. The mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA follows maternal inheritance pattern.
