sex-linked genes
What else can I help you with?
How are genes genomes and chromosomes related?
Chromosomes are strans of DNA genes are what chromosomes are made up of. A gene can be dominant or recessive and that is why one of you parents has brown eyes and the other has blue and you have brown because brown eyes is dominant and blue is recessive. Hope this helps
Why are even closely related siblings often different both in genotype and phenotype?
because chromosomes exchange genes before forming in eggs and sperms.
How are linked genes similar to sex linked genes how are they different?
Linked genes are genes that are located close to each other on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together during meiosis. Similarly, sex-linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes (X or Y) and their inheritance patterns differ between males and females due to their chromosomal differences. The key difference is that while linked genes can be located on any chromosome, sex-linked genes are specifically associated with the sex chromosomes. Additionally, sex-linked traits often show distinct patterns of inheritance based on the sex of the individual, which is not necessarily the case for linked genes.
What is the visual of all nucleus chromosomes called?
The visual of all nucleus chromosomes is called a karyotype. It is a photographic image showing the number, size, and shape of chromosomes in an individual's cells. Karyotypes are often used in genetic testing to identify chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders.
Little rings found in the DNA of bacteria called?
Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria that replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often carry genes that can provide benefits to the bacteria, such as antibiotic resistance. Plasmids can be transferred between bacteria through a process called conjugation.
What is the nick name for chromosomes?
Lots and lots of genes. And DNA strands. Made into a structure.

DNA is often tightly wound into structures called?
DNA is located in chromosomes inside the nucleus of a cell. This is called nuclear DNA. An organism's complete set of nuclear DNA is called its genome. Humans have a small amount of DNA found in structures mitochondria, which generates the energy the cell needs to function properly.
Why are even closely related siblings often different both in genotype and phenotype?
because chromosomes exchange genes before forming in eggs and sperms.
Genes that encode for drug resistance and can be shared between bacteria are often found on?
plasmid
What are genes that do not undergo independent assortment called?
Genes that do not undergo independent assortment are linked genes. These genes are located on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together more often than would be expected by chance.
How are linked genes similar to sex linked genes how are they different?
Linked genes are genes that are located close to each other on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together during meiosis. Similarly, sex-linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes (X or Y) and their inheritance patterns differ between males and females due to their chromosomal differences. The key difference is that while linked genes can be located on any chromosome, sex-linked genes are specifically associated with the sex chromosomes. Additionally, sex-linked traits often show distinct patterns of inheritance based on the sex of the individual, which is not necessarily the case for linked genes.
What is cell division controlled by?
Genes called proto-oncogenes stop a cell from dividing too often.
What is the visual of all nucleus chromosomes called?
The visual of all nucleus chromosomes is called a karyotype. It is a photographic image showing the number, size, and shape of chromosomes in an individual's cells. Karyotypes are often used in genetic testing to identify chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders.

Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria that replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often carry genes that can provide benefits to the bacteria, such as antibiotic resistance. Plasmids can be transferred between bacteria through a process called conjugation.
What are regions of the chromosome with few functional genes called?
Regions of the chromosome with few functional genes are called gene deserts or gene-poor regions. These regions typically have a lower density of genes compared to other parts of the chromosome, and are often associated with non-coding DNA or regulatory elements.
Which type of inheritance involves traits linked to a sex chromosome?
Sex-linked inheritance involves traits that are linked to genes on the sex chromosomes (X and Y). Traits carried on the X chromosome are typically expressed differently in males and females due to differences in the number of X chromosomes they inherit. Examples include color blindness and hemophilia.
