Are genes a length of DNA?
Yes, a gene is a complex length of DNA that is in our body. A gene is a length of DNA that codes for a living life form. Genes are found on chromosomes which are in the body nucleus.
What are paired chromosomes called that have genes from the same traits?
homolegous chromosomes
Is it true or false that DNA is arranged into chromosomes?
true
What has genes that are different traits?
heterozygous
What experiments did William Sutton do on grasshoppers?
I believe it was Walter Sutton..He was an American scientist who was the first to provide proof that chromosomes contained the cells units of inheritance. Walter Sutton became the first scientist to provide evidence that chromosomes carried the cells units of inheritance. While he studied grasshopper cells, Sutton observed that chromosomes occurred in distinct pairs, and that during meiosis(form of cell division) the chromosome pairs split, and each chromosome goes to its own cell. In 1903, Sutton discovered that chromosomes contained genes and that their behavior during meiosis was random, concepts that later provided the basis for the Chromosomal Theory of Hereditary.
What is the relationship between chromosomes and genes and between genes and DNA?
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
Is a gene the same thing as a chromosome?
No - genes are sections of DNA found on chromosomes that encode for a functional product (like a protein).Chromosomes are compact structures of DNA and proteins.
What is the difference between chromosomes and genes?
DNA is in genes, and genes are in chromosomes.
Are chromosomes a DNA molecule with many genes?
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
How are genes chromosomes and DNA related?
if a cat has 38 chromosomes in each of its body celss, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis?
Explain how DNA genes and chromosomes are related?
DNA is the molecule that genes are made of. Chromosomes are the (arbitrary) clumping that genes form in cells.
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.
What is the function of DNA chromosomes?
The main function of DNA chromosomes is to carry genes.
What are chromosomes and genes composed of?
Genes are composed of DNA. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins. Genes are the sections of DNA which code for a functional product (such as a protein). Chromosomes are the compact, tightly-coiled form of DNA. These appear before the cell undergoes division/replication.
Are genes are made up of smaller molecules known as chromosomes?
No, chromosomes are made of genes and DNA. Gene sequences make up DNA, and this DNA is coiled up and makes up chromosomes.
What are qualities of genes?
Genes are organized chromosomes. Chromosomes are what make the organism what it is. It is usually called DNA.
Are genes small segments of chromosomes?
Yes and No. Chromosomes are made of DNA wound around proteins. Genes are segments of the DNA that code for traits.
