What else can I help you with?
Is a entire chromosome made into an mRNA during transcription?
No, during transcription, only a segment of a chromosome, known as a gene, is transcribed into mRNA. The mRNA carries the code for a specific protein that will be translated by the ribosomes.
Is a gene all of an organisms DNA or only a segment of DNA?
A gene is a portion on a chromosome. It is not the entire DNA which codes for all you see in an individual.
Is a gene all of an organism's DNA or only a segment of DNA?
A gene is a portion on a chromosome. It is not the entire DNA which codes for all you see in an individual.
Is the color blindness gene also present on the Y chromosome?
No - the colour blindness gene is only found on the X chromosome.
Why are traits controlled by recessive alleles on the X chromosome are more common in males than in females?
Males only have one X chromosome, so even if the gene on that chromosome is recessive there is no other gene that could dominate it. Females have two X chromosomes, so if the gene on that chromosome is recessive there is still a chance that the gene on the other chromosome could be dominate and override it.
On which chromosome is the human gene known as Factor X located?
The Factor X gene is said to be located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, whereas males only have one. The other chromosome they have is a Y chromosome.
If a man carries a harmful sex-linked gene in his X chromosome who will he pass this on to?
He will pass this harmful sex-linked gene on to his daughters. Sons will inherit their Y chromosome from their father, not his X chromosome.
Why does a female with a gene for a sex-linked disorder usually appear normal?
A female with a gene for a genetic disorder will usually only have it on one of her two X chromosomes. The other chromosome will carry the healthy version of the gene, which will carry out that gene's function when the other chromosome cannot. Males will exhibit the disease if they have the gene as a male human only has one X chromosome. So, in order for a female to have a genetic disorder carried on her sex chromosome her mother would have to have the defective gene and her father would have the disorder.
Chromosome that has both dominant and recessive gene?
A chromosome can have both dominant and recessive genes for a specific trait, but only one gene will be expressed in an individual. The dominant gene will be expressed over the recessive gene in a heterozygous individual. This is known as the principle of dominance in genetics.
For a gene with its locus on the X chromosome what term do you use to describe a male that only has one copy of this gene?
Hemizygous - has 1/1 copy of the allele Heterozygous - has 1/2 copies of the alleleHomozygous - has 2/2 copies of the allele
If a trait is always transmitted directly from a father to all his sons and from those sons to all their son what chromosome would the gene for the character be likely on?
The gene for this trait is likely located on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and since only males have a Y chromosome, the trait will only be passed down through male lineage.
Are DNA gene genome chromosome cell nucleotide living things?
Only the Cell
