I have heard of chromosomes doing odd things ie splitting and rejoining but not in regards to genealogy and I have no idea how that would show up. That situation is also rare.

I have really avoided the whole science of this dna testing. I know the higher the number, the stronger the relationship but the segments I haven't really understood.
No, a segment doesn't mean a chromosome, but I don't think it would say 1 segment if it was split over the 2 matching chromosomes.
