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.
No, a gene is a specific segment of DNA that carries the instructions for a specific trait or function, such as eye color or blood type. A chromosome, on the other hand, is a structure made of DNA and proteins that carries many genes. Each chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.
chromosomes are composed of genes and non-coding sequences.
Genes make up chromosomes. Genes have DNA in them and genes have different spots on a chromosome.
You have it backwards. Chromosomes contain genes.
When a gene is linked to a chromosome, it means that the gene is physically located on that chromosome. This means that the gene is inherited along with the chromosome it is located on, and may be inherited together with other nearby genes on the same chromosome.
False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
The SRY gene is a gene on the Y chromosome required for the development of testes. It stands for Sex determining Region on Y chromosome.

Yes, it is!:)
no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...
No. A chromosome is composed of proteins and genes.
homologous chromosomes
nucleus → chromosome → gene
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
There are thousands of genes in a chromosome.
An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is found at the same location on a chromosome.
False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
The SRY gene is a gene on the Y chromosome required for the development of testes. It stands for Sex determining Region on Y chromosome.
chromosome 11
Mixed chromosome twins, also known as chimeric twins, are twins who have different chromosomal makeups despite being conceived at the same time. This occurs when two separate fertilized eggs fuse early in development, leading to one individual with two sets of DNA. As a result, these twins may exhibit physical or genetic variations.
