What contains the genes the determine a persons gender or sex?
The Sex chromosomes
Are the chromosomes located in the genes?
No, the genes are in the chromosomes
Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
Explain why the majority of genes in an organism occur in pairs.?
Genes come in pairs because Genes are in chromosomes and chromosomes come in pairs as well.
Are chromosomes found on genes?
Chromosomes contain genes, which are the units of inheritance that carry genetic information. Genes are located on specific locations on chromosomes, known as gene loci. Each chromosome carries hundreds to thousands of genes that determine an individual's traits and characteristics.
How many genes are found on each of your chromosomes?
Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), chromosomes are long strands of genes, and since the chromosomes come in pairs, so do the genes. There are 25,000 genes in the entire human genome, and since the haploid chromosome number is 23, there are about 100's of genes on the shorter chromosomes and approximately thousands on the longer chromsomes.
Difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes are structures that contain genes, which are the functional units of heredity. Genes are specific segments of DNA that encode information for producing proteins, while chromosomes are made up of DNA and protein and contain many genes. Chromosomes are organized in pairs in a cell's nucleus, while genes are the specific units on chromosomes responsible for inherited traits.
What role do chromosomes play in inhertance?
Genes are located on chromosomes. Genes are simply regions on chromosomes that code for polypeptides.
The genes on the x and y chromosomes are called what?
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
How are genes chromosomes and DNA related?
if a cat has 38 chromosomes in each of its body celss, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis?
What located on chromosomes and carry hereditary instructions?
Genes are located on chromosomes and carry hereditary instructions that are passed from parents to offspring. Genes determine various traits and characteristics in living organisms.
Explain how the expression of genes on sex chromosomes differs from the expression of genes on autosomal chromosomes?
Autosomes are identical to each other whereas sex chromosomes come in two forms, X and y and code for the sex linked characteristics (and some other traits) and are the 24th pair, determine sex.
