A Chromosome is a threadlike linear strand of DNA and associated proteins in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells that carries the genes and functions in the transmission of hereditary information. It is a circular strand of DNA in bacteria that contains the hereditary information necessary for cell life.
As appose to a Gene A hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes undergo mutation when their DNA sequence changes.
What else can I help you with?
What is a difference between a gene mutation and a chromosomes mutation?
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
What is One difference between the gene that codes for insulin and the gene that codes for testosterone in humans?
The gene of insulin has a different sequence of molecular bases than the gene of testosterone.
What various types of genetic material in order from simplest to most complex?
nucleus → chromosome → gene
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 the similarities and difference between the segregation of genes and of chromosomes?
Both gene segregation and chromosome segregation involve the separation of genetic material during cell division. In gene segregation, alleles of a gene separate during meiosis, whereas chromosome segregation involves the separation of entire chromosomes. The key difference is that gene segregation refers to specific alleles segregating to daughter cells, while chromosome segregation refers to the distribution of entire chromosomes to daughter cells.
What does it mean to say that a gene is linked to a chromosome?
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.
Gene is it the same as a chromosome?
no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...
What name is given to the specific location of a gene on a chromosome?
The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is called it's locus.
What percentage of redheads are ambidextrous?
There should be minor difference in ambidextrous of redheads to other hair colour because the red hair gene is on chromosome 16 while the dominance of hand is the work of gene in possibly many chromosome. For more specific, chromosome 2 is in favour of developing left-handedness but not always be true. Even if there is a supportive factor of ambidextrous in chromosome 16, the other gene might simply overrule the supported gene in chromosome 16.
What chromosome is the HBB gene on?
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.
What is the difference between Edward's syndrome and Patau's syndrome?
in Patau there is an extra chromosome in chromosome 13, in Edwars it the extra chromosome is in chromosome 18
Which chromosome contains the sex gene?
chromosome 1 chromosome 1
