What does it mean to say that a gene is linked to a chromosome?
When a gene is linked to a chromosome, it means that the gene is physically located on that chromosome. This means that the gene is inherited along with the chromosome it is located on, and may be inherited together with other nearby genes on the same chromosome.
Is a gene the same thinga as a chromosome?
No. A chromosome is composed of proteins and genes.
What type of chromosome always carry gene for the same trait at the same location on both chromosome?
homologous chromosomes
What various types of genetic material in order from simplest to most complex?
nucleus → chromosome → gene
List these in order from smallest to largest chromosome gene cell?
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
What name is given to the specific location of a gene on a chromosome?
The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is called it's locus.
What an allele?
An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is found at the same location on a chromosome.
What chromosome is the HBB gene on?
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.
Which chromosome contains the sex gene?
chromosome 1 chromosome 1
What is a sex linked gene?
It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
A segment of chromosome responsible for a particular characteristic?
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
What gene is sex-linked?
It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
