==== Chromosome 21 ====
Every time you successfully use an ACTIVATOR on another person, the activator becomes filled with genetic data. Recycle/use it on your DNA console for a 60% chance to gain a random chromosome. The chromosome gets stored in the "Storage - Chromosomes" tab. Clicking on a chromosome gives you information about it. You can also eject it into its physical form. Physical chromosomes can only be used by inserting them into a DNA console. <br><br>

Each active mutation in a person has a single chromosome slot. You can only add chromosomes to people who are inside the connected DNA scanner. Do so by opening the ''Sequencer'' tab. Then click an activated mutation, or [[#Manifesting_Mutations|find one]] if none is active yet. You should see the line ''Select a chromosome'' followed by a list of chromosomes that mutation would be compatible with. Select a chromosome in the dropdown menu and you have now filled that mutation's chromosome slot. To delete the chromosome from a mutation you need to deactivate and reactivate the mutation by changing any letter and then back. <br>

After you have added a chromosome to a mutation, you can ''store'' it to the ''Storage - mutations'' tab as normal (by clicking ''Save to console'' in the ''Sequencer'' tab). Mutations from mutators/activators printed from this stored entry will then contain that chromosome. The stored entry will retain its applied chromosome if saved to a Genetics data disk and transferred to a different DNA Scanner console.

These are the currently available chromosomes you can get (the chance for a chromosome to be of a specific type is listed next to that type in parenthesis):
* '''Synchronizer''' (5/16): Gives the mind more control over the mutation, reducing some downsides by 50%.
* '''Stabilizer''' (1/16): The rarest chromosome. Reduces [[#Genetic_Instability|instability]] gained from the mutation by 20%.
* '''Power''' (5/16): Boosts strength of certain mutations. Experiment with super sneeze or even deadlier fireballs!
* '''Energetic''' (5/16): Reduces cooldown on action based mutations.
* <s>'''Reinforcement''' (3/19): Makes the mutation immune to mutadone.</s> Removed Aug 2020.

Chromosomes aren't supposed to be addable to mutations that won't benefit from them. For example, you can't use the energetic chromosome on the monkey mutation.
