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 is an allele inherited on a sex-chromosome?
A gene found on a sex chromosome is known as a sex-linked gene. Alleles are the different forms of a gene.
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 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 is the location of the eye color of a fruit fly meaning which chromosome?
The locus for eye color is on the X chromosome.
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 is an example of a heterozygous chromosome?
An example of a heterozygous chromosome is having one chromosome with a dominant allele and the other with a recessive allele for a particular gene. This can lead to different traits expressed depending on the dominant or recessive nature of the alleles.
What chromosome is the HBB gene on?
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.
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
Which chromosome contains the sex gene?
chromosome 1 chromosome 1
