The cytoplasm contains thousands of segments called genes which are responsible for hereditary characteristics?
Actually, genes are segments of DNA located on chromosomes inside the cell's nucleus, not in the cytoplasm. Genes contain the instructions for making proteins, which determine an individual's traits and characteristics through processes like gene expression. The cytoplasm houses various organelles where cellular functions like protein synthesis take place.
What characteristics do chromosomes and genes share?
The cell's nuclear genome is contained within the genes that are located inside of the chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread like structures and are located inside of the nucleus in animal and plant cells.
Segments of equal length are what kind of segments?
Segments of equal length are called congruent segments. You can identify them by congruency marks. congruency marks look like this on your line: ---l-----------l---
An organismwith two like genes for a triat is called what for that trait?
An organism with two like genes for a trait is called homozygous for that trait.
Where are genes found in the human body?
Genes are found in the nucleus of cells within the human body. They are located on chromosomes, which are thread-like structures that carry genetic information. Genes are segments of DNA that code for specific proteins and play a central role in determining an individual's traits and characteristics.
What are segments of DNA found in chromosomes that give instructions for producing a certain characteristics?
Segments of DNA found in chromosomes that provide instructions for producing certain characteristics are called genes. Each gene contains the information necessary to produce specific proteins, which play crucial roles in determining an organism's traits and functions. Genes can influence a wide range of characteristics, from physical traits like eye color to biochemical processes essential for survival.
What an organim looks like as result of its genes is called what?
Phenotype.
What do genes look like?
I had the same problem but i found out that a gene is a small segment of a DNA strand. I'm sorry i don't know how long the gene segment is but DNA is made up of many genes segments put together.
What is a choromosome and how are they related to genes and DNA?
A chromosome is a whole lot of genes strung together. Each gene is made of DNA. To confuse matters further, as well as having lots of genes in every chromosome, there is also a lot of "extra" DNA. This DNA is called "non-coding" DNA and we don't really know what it does yet. In fact there is much more non-coding DNA in every chromosome than genes.
What are microscopic bodies that carry the genes that convey hereditary characteristics called?
Those are called chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of cells that carry genetic information in the form of DNA, which determines an organism's hereditary traits.
A DNA code fo one hereditary trait is called a?
A DNA code for one hereditary trait is called a gene. Genes are segments of DNA that encode specific instructions for producing proteins or functional RNA molecules, which ultimately determine traits like eye color, blood type, or height.
How have appendages of arthopods changed during evolution?
The HOX genes found in arthropods are a good example of how evolution may affect the overal structure of organisms. Arthropods are segmented organisms, and the development of segments and limbs in animals is regulated by HOX genes. As HOX genes change, the number of segments and limbs may change. Geneticists can demonstrate this by knocking out or otherwise altering the HOX genes in insects, causing abnormal development to occur, like extra segments, extra legs, legs for antennae, and so on. Today, there exists a wide variety of arthropods, each with a unique body plan and morphology. So too have their appandages diverged into many different forms.
