A gene is a chemical reading of your body's mix of proteins and amino acids in your DNA
(Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid). A gene doesn't really DO any thing, it really tells you how your going to grow.

∙ 12y agoGenes group together to make DNA strands which makes up the genetic make-up of your body. When DNA goes into cell division one of the two strands of DNA breaks off and proteins make new strand on the broken off piece and a new strand is formed on the old strand. Thus resulting in two pairs of DNA. This may answer more DNA questions than gene questions......

Generally speaking, genes control many physical characteristics like the color of one's hair. Genes can also be sex-linked (all genes located on X chromosome, no genes on y), modifiers (changes effect of another gene), or mutant (messed up transmission and expression).

Regions of DNA within each chromosome?
gene
What various types of genetic material in order from simplest to most complex?
nucleus → chromosome → gene
What is a segment with information to make a protein?
A segment of DNA on a chromosome that controls the production of a protein is called a gene. Chromosome a cellular structure that contains DNA.
What chromosome is the HBB gene on?
chromosome 11
Gene A occurs on chromosome 5 gene B on chromosome 21 Therefore these two parts of a chromosome cannot be what?
alleles
Regions of DNA within each chromosome?
gene
Are all traits of an organism found in its gene?
yes each gene has 100 chromosome on it
What various types of genetic material in order from simplest to most complex?
nucleus → chromosome → gene
How did Alfred sturtevant use gene linkage to create gene maps?
By plotting where on a chromosome each gene is located.
What Is part of the DNA code on a chromosome?
Each chromosome has genes on it in the form of coded base nucleotide sequence which is part of DNA.
List these in order from smallest to largest chromosome gene cell?
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).
What is a segment with information to make a protein?
A segment of DNA on a chromosome that controls the production of a protein is called a gene. Chromosome a cellular structure that contains DNA.
The purpose of mapping the genes is to?
show where on a chromosome each gene is located.
How many copies of a gene does each somatic cell have?
One. A gamete is a haploid cell containing one copy of each chromosome (23 in humans). Each chromosome contains one copy of each gene. Therefore, a gamete contains one copy of each gene.
Each chromosome usually contains multiple genes true or false?
Can each chromosome usually contain multiple genes? yes each chromosome usually contains more than one gene.
Gene is it the same as a chromosome?
no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...
A short and simple definition of gene?
A gene is a part of the chromosome what is linked to your DNA it carries the proteins which make you, you! Factors that control traits.
