Where are genes found within the body?
In the DNA in every cell.
Are genes a length of DNA?
Yes, a gene is a complex length of DNA that is in our body. A gene is a length of DNA that codes for a living life form. Genes are found on chromosomes which are in the body nucleus.
What do genes found on chromosomes contain the DNA codes for?
Genes found on chromosomes contain the DNA codes for proteins. These proteins are essential for various biological processes and functions in the body.
Are hox genes found in bacteria?
Hox genes are a hallmark of multicellular life and are not found in bacteria. Hox genes are just one type of a larger family of gene called "homeobox genes" (watch out, they sound similar!). Bacteria have genes that resemble homeobox genes (Kant et al. 2002) but they're only distantly related to those in multicellular life (Derelle, 2007), and definitely don't have Hox genes. Both plants and animals have homeobox genes, including the subset called Hox genes. The homeobox genes were first found in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and have subsequently been identified in many other species, from insects to reptiles and mammals.Homeobox genes were previously only identified in bilateria but recently cnidaria have also been found to contain homeobox domains and the "missing link" in the evolution between the two has been identified.Homeobox genes have even been found in fungi, for example the unicellular yeasts, and in plants.But no evidence of hox genes are found in bacteria
Where are the genes that determine gender found?
The genes that determines gender can be found in the Y chromosome.
Could genes from extict saber-toothed cat still be found and used to produce another saber-toothed cat?
Possibly, if a frozen body of the exact same cat is found, and it's genes are intact, then they could be cloned or genetically engineered, but the chance of finding the cat with intact genes is really small.
Where are most sex linked genes are found in?
Most sex-linked genes are found on the X chromosome
What are Mendel's factors today and where can they be found?
Mendel's factors are now called genes and they are found strung along chromosomes ( chromatin, usually ) in just about every cell of your body.
Mutations in these genes lead to transformation in the identity of entire body parts?
Homeotic genes, also known as Hox genes, are responsible for controlling the identity and positioning of body parts during embryonic development. Mutations in these genes can lead to dramatic changes in body structure, such as transformations in the identity of entire body parts.
Genes found on the x and y chromosomes are often called?
sex-linked genes
What do the chromosomes in your body contain thousands of?
Chromosomes in your body contain thousands of genes. Genes are segments of DNA that encode instructions for producing proteins, which are essential for various functions in the body. Each chromosome contains many genes that determine an individual's traits and characteristics.
Where genes and chromosomes are found in your body?
Genes are found in the nucleus of cells, located on structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread-like structures made up of DNA and protein, containing the genetic information needed for an organism to develop, grow, and function.
