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
How did Alfred sturtevant use gene linkage to create gene maps?
Alfred Sturtevant used gene linkage to create gene maps by analyzing the patterns of inheritance of genes located on the same chromosome. By studying how often certain genes were inherited together, he was able to determine their relative positions on the chromosome. This information allowed him to create the first genetic maps, which showed the linear order of genes along a chromosome.
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.
