What else can I help you with?
Are chromosomes sections of genes?
A small section that codes for one amino acid is called a codon. A section that codes for proteins is called a gene.
Are linked genes genes located on the same chromosome?
Yes, linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome.
What is a section of DNA that code for a trait?
A section of chromosomes that codes for a trait can be called
What is a small section of a chromosome that controls the production of proteins called?
A small section of a chromosome that controls the production of proteins is called a gene. Genes contain the instructions for making specific proteins through a process called gene expression, which involves transcription and translation of the genetic information.
What is the name of genes that are carried on the same chromosome?
Genes that are located on the same chromosome are called linked genes. These genes tend to be inherited together during cell division because they are physically close to each other on the same chromosome.
Are linked genes on the same chromosome?
Yes, linked genes are located on the same chromosome.
How many genes are typically found in a chromosome?
Typically, a chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.
How many genes does the chromosome carry?
The number of genes varies. Most of any chromosome consists of non-coding DNA, which does not contain any genes. Each chromosome has many chromatins. One gene consists of many chromatins. Therefore, one chromosome could have many genes.
The Y chromosome is larger and carries fewer genes than the X chromosome?
No. The Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome. There are only about 70 active genes on the Y chromosome and many more deleteriously mutated one. The X chromosome contains many more active genes and only crosses over marginally with the Y chromosome.
What is the relationship between the genes and chromosomes?
There are thousands of genes in a chromosome.
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.
Which chromosomes carries the fewest numbers of genes?
The y chromosome, which only contains a few hundred genes.
