Well,

Alleles are a forms of genes that can be dominant or recessive,a gene is a part of a strand of DNA, and a strand of DNA is made up of genes

How alleles and genes related?

Genes and alleles are related because alleles are inside a gene. Genes are made up by alleles. A gene is DNA. The allele is like piece of DNA inside a gene.


How similar are two people with respect to chromosomes genes and alleles?

Two individuals can be highly similar in terms of chromosomes, genes, and alleles if they are closely related, such as siblings. They will share a significant portion of their genetic material due to inheritance. However, unrelated individuals will have more differences in their genetic makeup, with variations in chromosomes, genes, and alleles.


What is the relationship between alleles and chromosomes?

All chromosomes consist of genes and non coding material. Animals with chromosomes arranged in the double helix pattern have two almost identical genes on the chromosomes opposite from the other. When those two genes in particular are discussed, they are called alleles. Frequently one is expressed and one is not, or one is dominant and the other is not.


What does sex linked alleles mean?

Sex linked genes occur only on the X or the Y sex chromosomes.


Genes are located on structures called what?

The structures are called chromosomes.


What are a pair of genes that are identical called?

A pair of genes that are identical are called alleles. Alleles are different forms of the same gene that occupy the same position on homologous chromosomes.


The two or more related genes that control a trait are known as?

alleles


Why some chromosomes are recessive and the others are domainent?

Actually a chromosome consists of many genes/alleles and is neither recessive or dominant in and of itself.


What are alleles passed from parent to child on a sex chromosomes?

They are sex-linked genes.


What is the relationships between chromosomes genes and alleles?

alleles are the various types of options that is chosen by the gene. The gene is the segment of DNA that codes for the protein. Genes are found on chromosomes. Chromosomes contain multiple genes.


Traits are determined by pairs of genes called?

The two chromosomes (two "X" shapes) that are in a pair are generally called "homologous chromosomes". A pair of "chromatids" make up the two arms of a single chromosome.


Which is not a characteristic of homologous chromosomes?

Homologous chromosomes do not have identical DNA sequences; while they carry the same genes, the alleles (variations of those genes) can differ between the chromosomes. Additionally, homologous chromosomes can vary in size, shape, and genetic content due to the presence of different alleles and possible structural differences. Thus, the key characteristic that is not true for homologous chromosomes is that they are not identical in sequence.
