What are Stability Genes?

Stability genes are one of the three main genes, that when mutated are associated with cell progression towards tumorigenicity. It's normal function is to control the rate of mutation, but if mutated it off-balances, effecting oncogene and tumor suppressor function. In other words, accelerating the mutation process.


Are genes made up of chromosomes?

You have that backwards: chromosomes are made up of genes. The above sentence is literally true of the single circular chromosome in Prokaryotes. However in Eukaryotes it is much more complex: chromosomes are made up of genes (which are made up of exons and introns), gene control codes), at least one centromere (only one of which is functional if there is more than one), at least two telomeres (to prevent the two ends of the linear chromosome from unraveling and also believed to reduce the chance of cancers), and many sections of unknown function generally believed to be genetic "junk" that does nothing but occupy space in the chromosome. The term "junk" DNA has now been discovered to be places where genes have been turned off or hidden.


Is the following sentence true or false all genes show simple patterns of dominant and recessive alleles?

False. Blood type genes have two dominant alleles (A and B), and one recessive (O). When a person gets one A allele and one B allele, they then have the blood type AB. Both are expressed equally. In other genes, a dominant allele might not be completely dominant, allowing the recessive allele to be partially expressed.

Does one gene control many traits or do many genes control one trait?

The answer is simple, genes are inherited and traits are your own uniqueness, genes will have an influence on your traits, so if you are a loud person, that will be one of your traits, and if a parent is a loud person, you will have most likely inherited that gene from them, so the answer is one gene controls many traits because the gene was there first
