What scientific term describes a change in a gene?
A mutation
What is the term for when an organism has two identical alleles for a trait?
The term is homozygous.This means that the alleles of a particular gene, at a particular locus on a specific chromosome, are the same.
For a gene with its locus on the X chromosome what term do you use to describe a male that only has one copy of this gene?
Hemizygous - has 1/1 copy of the allele Heterozygous - has 1/2 copies of the alleleHomozygous - has 2/2 copies of the allele
What is the Term for an organism with the chromosome designation 3n?
tripalosdic
What is the term for the haploid form of a plant?
Gametophyte
What term refers to a factor that causes a change in a gene or chromosome?
mutation
What scientific term describes a change in a gene?
A mutation
What is the name given to genes that have more than two alleles?
Polymorphic locus or polymorphic gene. Many geneticists use the term locus (plr. loci) for a gene (i.e. section of a chromosome)
What do you call the physical location of a gene?
The specific term is gene locus. If the exact location is known then there is more specific terminology that refers to the chromosome number whether the locus is on the short (p) or long (q) arm of the chromosome and it's specific location based on band and sub-band location.
What is the term for when an organism has two identical alleles for a trait?
The term is homozygous.This means that the alleles of a particular gene, at a particular locus on a specific chromosome, are the same.
What is the meaning of piga-piga?
Piga is a term used in the medical field. Essentially, it refers to a gene on chromosome Xp22.1 that encodes a certain trans membrane protein.
Which type of mutation can lead to the loss of gene chromosome?
The term is monosomy, in which one chromosome of a pair is missing. Turner's Syndrome is an example of monosomy, in which there is only one sex chromosome, which is the X chromosome. Humans with Turner's Syndrome are female, but sterile. The genotype of the sex chromosomes in Turner's Syndrome is XO, in which O represents a missing chromosome.
For a gene with its locus on the X chromosome what term do you use to describe a male that only has one copy of this gene?
Hemizygous - has 1/1 copy of the allele Heterozygous - has 1/2 copies of the alleleHomozygous - has 2/2 copies of the allele
Who coined the term chromosome?
W. Waldeyer coined the term chromosome (1888)
What if your born without your pituitary gland?
This difficult to answer. Many times these are due to "mistakes" in the development process or due to a damage of a gene or chromosome. There could be about 8 different mutations possible. Is the gland entirely missing? See link below:
How long does a Trademark Assignment filed last?
An assignment is permanent; the term of protection for the trademark does not change.
What are examples for the word allele?
The term allele is often used interchangeably with the word gene. Allele/gene is used for the variations seen at each gene locus for a trait on the homologous chromosome pair. For example: If there are three alleles for a trait only two of the alleles will be represented in the genotype of any one individual. The alleles for basic blood types A, B and O are examples. In general the term allele is not used interchangeably with gene in conjunction with the terms locus or loci..therefore Gene locus or gene loci but not allele locus or allele loci.
