What is it called when sections of chromosomes control genes?
regulation of gene expression
Explain how the expression of genes on sex chromosomes differs from the expression of genes on autosomal chromosomes?
Autosomes are identical to each other whereas sex chromosomes come in two forms, X and y and code for the sex linked characteristics (and some other traits) and are the 24th pair, determine sex.
What is the pattern of expression for autosomal genes?
Autosomal genes are expressed in both males and females, as they are located on autosomes (non-sex chromosomes). This means that the pattern of expression for autosomal genes is not influenced by sex chromosomes or sex-specific factors.
What is the relationship between non-allelic genes in terms of inheritance and genetic expression?
Non-allelic genes are located on different chromosomes and do not influence each other's inheritance or genetic expression. They are inherited independently and their expression is not linked.
Genes at one locus that affect the expression of genes at a different locus are said to be?
epistatic
How do genes and chromosomes effect your development?
Chromosomes are genes you get from your parents. They affect your physical features and how you grow. Like if your parents were both short, you would get chromosomes deciding if you get their dominate gene (short) or both recessive genes (tall). You have 42 chromosomes when you are born (21 from each parent)
Is the expression of sex-linked genes controlled by hormones?
Yes, the expression of sex-linked genes can be influenced by hormones. Hormones play a role in regulating gene expression by affecting the activity of specific genes in response to changes in the body's internal and external environment. Hormones such as testosterone and estrogen can impact the expression of genes located on sex chromosomes.
Are the chromosomes located in the genes?
No, the genes are in the chromosomes
How the nucleus chromosomes and genes affect the development and characteristics of the whole organism?
the chromsomes
Are chromosomes carry genes and are found in the nucleus?
Yes, chromosomes carry genes, which are units of heredity that determine our traits. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells where they play a crucial role in regulating gene expression and cell division.
What is the relationship between a non-allelic gene and the expression of a specific trait in an organism?
Non-allelic genes are genes located on different chromosomes that do not directly influence each other. They can affect the expression of a specific trait in an organism through independent pathways, leading to a combination of different genetic factors influencing the trait.
Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
