👉 Monosomes are a type of cell that contains only one chromosome. They are found in eukaryotic cells, such as bacteria and some types of plants. Monosomes are primarily responsible for genetic information transfer from parent cells to offspring cells during cell division. The DNA contained within a monosom is not duplicated or replicated, but rather it is simply removed from the nucleus. This allows the new cell to have its own unique genetic code without the need for replication.
