A locus the location of an allele on a chromosome?
It defines location of a gene on a chromosome. Also, it means a genetic susceptibility factor. It is usually a part of a chromosome when disease is analyzed and broke down. Cancer or heart disease.
If a characteristic is sex-linked, how does it affect the inheritance pattern of that trait?
When a characteristic is sex-linked, it is located on a sex chromosome (usually the X chromosome). This affects the inheritance pattern because males have only one X chromosome, so they will express any sex-linked trait on that chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, so they may be carriers of the trait without expressing it. This can result in different inheritance patterns for males and females.
What is the mode of inheritance for Edwards syndrome please help?
Edwards syndrome is typically caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 18, rather than a specific gene mutation. This condition is usually not inherited, but rather occurs sporadically during the formation of reproductive cells.
Does the inheritance of one trait effect the inheritance of another trait?
The inheritance of one trait does not directly affect the inheritance of another trait, as different traits are usually controlled by different genes. However, traits located on the same chromosome may be inherited together due to genetic linkage.
Each chromosome usually contains multiple genes true or false?
Can each chromosome usually contain multiple genes? yes each chromosome usually contains more than one gene.
Gene are what?
According to Merriam Webster, a gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is located usually on a chromosome and that is the functional unit of inheritance controlling the transmission and expression of one or more traits by specifying the structure of a particular polypeptide and especially a protein or controlling the function of other genetic material.
What is the scientific meaning for gene?
A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is located usually on a chromosome and that is the functional unit of inheritance controlling the transmission and expression of one or more traits by specifying the structure of a particular polypeptide and especially a protein or controlling the function of other genetic material.
The chromosome makeup of an individual organism is called a?
The chromosome makeup of an individual organism is called a karyotype. A karyotype is a visual representation of an individual's chromosomes, showing their number and structure. It is usually depicted as a chart or diagram displaying the chromosome pairs in a specific order.
Who is first in line for inheritance?
The person designated as the primary beneficiary in the deceased's will is typically first in line for inheritance. If there is no will, inheritance may be determined by state intestacy laws, with close family members like spouses and children usually having priority. Consulting with a legal professional can provide clarity on specific inheritance circumstances.
If a characteristic is sex-linked then where is the gene for it found?
Genes for sex-linked traits can be found on the sex chromosomes - X and Y. Almost all sex-linked traits are determined by the X chromosome, because it is much larger than the Y chromosome and can thus carry more genes. A few sex-linked traits are known on the Y chromosome, including - believe it or not - hairy ears.
Describes the location of a place or an object?
It could be either absolute location or relative location, depending on how specific the description is. -or position
Are sex linkedd traits usually dominant or recessive?
The alleles on the sex chromosomes are still dominant or recessive, the difference is that even a recessive trait on the X chromosome can be expressed if it is located at a gene locus that has no matching locus on the Y chromosome. The alleles for red-green color blindness are located on the X chromosome is a place that has no corresponding locus on the Y chromosome. Inheritance for a male child depends on the mother's genetics and, if she is a carrier, the male child has a 50% chance of being color blind.
