At the beginning of cell division DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called an?
chromosome.
Can you arrange the following in order from largest to smallest in size DNA NucleotideNucleuscell chromosome?
From smallest to largest: DNA (where DNA = short sequences of nucleotides) gene chromosome nucleus sperm cell
What is the Thread like strand made of DNA called?
Chromatin. The proteins are histones, used to organize and compact the DNA.
Which chromosome carries a gene which is essential for maleness?
The Y Chromosome.
What is the sry gene?
The SRY gene is a gene on the Y chromosome required for the development of testes. It stands for Sex determining Region on Y chromosome.
What are the 4 types of DNA?
autosomal dna, X chromosome, Y chromosome,and mitochondrial
What type of DNA only is transmitted by fathers to sons?
The DNA of the Y-chromosome is the DNA that is transmitted only from father to son. This is because women have two X-chromosomes, one of which is given to each child. But men have one X-chromosome and one Y-chromosome. So if a father gives a Y-chromosome to his child that child will be male, while only females receive the father's X-chromosome.
How many DNA strands constitute a chromosome?
every and any DNA strand can constitue to a chromosome :)
What is the difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule?
The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.
What genes are found in the y chromosome?
The Y chromosome contains more than 59 million blocks of DNA and represents almost 2% of the total DNA in cells within the body. The Y chromosome contains between 20,000 to 25,000 genes within the human genetic make-up.
When the dna results come in will there be something on the dna test about the y chromsome This is a paternity test of a child.?
The Y chromosome will be included in the DNA test that determines paternity, because as we all know, half of our DNA comes from the mother and the other half from the father, which makes up the full genetic profile of the child with both x and y chromosome pairings.
What is an example of chromosome?
Well, you only have two choices or examples: X and Y.
Why does the Y chromosome be unlikely to contain any of the genes that are absolutely necessary for survival?
Yes, the y chromosome is critical for survival, for males at least. It contains the DNA (or genes) for the genetic make up of a male's body. No, I don't think so because Y chromosomes just dermine the sex. If it was critical to life then no girl would be alive because they don't have Y chromose. Y chromosome truly determines sex. It contains SRY gene that produces TDF which makes sth to male. it not important for survival, just for prodactivity, since Y has came from X chromosome.
What is diffrnet from boys DNA and girls DNA?
This varies by species but in humans the female gender has cells with two x chromosomes of which one is randomly inactivated. This inactivated chromosome is referred to as the barr body. The male gender has cells with both an x chromosome and a small y chromosome. Source - Any recent biology textbook.
Why x chromosome is placed in group c and y chromosome placed at the end of forth row?
the y chromosome doesn't carry any genetic information
Why does the y chromosome not carry any alleles?
The Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome and contains fewer genes. It carries the genes necessary for determining male sex and some other genes, but it lacks many of the genes present on the X chromosome. This is why the Y chromosome does not carry any alleles in the same way that the X chromosome does.
