What else can I help you with?
Why genes are called herditary?
This is because genes are inherited and herditary is a scientific way of saying inherited, used when talking about inherited diseases and genes. Hope this helps! :)
How many genes do you have on one set of chromosomes in one of your cells?
Its the other way around. We have 46 chromosomes in each of our cells. The number of genes per chromosome varies between 500 and 4,000, with a total of about 32,000 genes in the 46 chromosomes.
What best describes the way that genes chromosomes and DNA are related?
your mother
What accounts for the way most traits developed in organisms?
inherited genes and environment
What are the Structures that may play a role in regulating the way genes are transcribed?
chromosomes
Are genes made of DNA?
Actually its the other way around. DNA is the structure that contains genes and passes them from generation to generation allowing traits to be inherited. I wish I could go into better detail but I'm more of a physics and chemistry kinda guy.
What can cause genetic variation?
genes are kept in chromosomes, there is this thing called meiosis which is when the chromosomes/genes get split in half, one from both parents that way it equals the normal amount of genes later. the genes have tons of ways to mix and match around while getting split apart and then ending up in the same place.
How do number of chromosome affects the genes and DNA?
Not at a fundamental level, chromosomes are just the way that genes are clumped together. But on a practical level, chromosomes are what the cells manipulate during growth and (especially) during reproduction.
If a gene is changed in a way that causes a new trait to appear?
A mutation is a change in genes or chromosomes that causes a new trait to be inherited. Mutations play a part in both normal and abnormal biological processes such as evolution, cancer, and the development of the immune system.
What in the cell was controls and coordinates the activities of the cell?
The nucleus by way of the chromosomes, which contain the genes (DNA).
Can you inherit genes from distant cousins?
No, you can only inherit genes from your direct ancestors (parents, grand parents, great grandparents, etc.) However, both you and a distant cousin could have inherited the same gene from a common ancestor. There is no way your cousins can pass anything to you.
How are most traits inherited the same way mouse fur color is?
Most traits are inherited through a combination of genes from both parents, following Mendelian inheritance patterns. This involves the passing down of specific alleles that determine the expression of a trait, similar to how mouse fur color is inherited from parent mice.
