Why does the y chromosome not carry any alleles?
The Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome and contains fewer genes. It carries the genes necessary for determining male sex and some other genes, but it lacks many of the genes present on the X chromosome. This is why the Y chromosome does not carry any alleles in the same way that the X chromosome does.
Chromosome are made up of still smaller units called?
A chromosome is made up of DNA, which has subunits called nucleotides.
Is a chromosome smaller than DNA?
Chromosomes are made of DNA coiled around protein histones. So no, chromosomes are not smaller, but they are more condensed then when the DNA is unwound in strand form.
Do women or men have a smaller sex chromosome?
Women have two XX chromosomes, while men generally have XY (barring unusual chromosomal genotypes). The Y chromosome is smaller than the X.
What is the role of proteins in the chromosome?
They help fold and coil DNA to make it smaller.

Which is more complex chromosome or gene?
A chromosome is more "complex" than a gene.:)
Does The Y chromosome have any DNA?
Yes, although it has less DNA and is smaller than its partner the X chromosome
What is a role of proteins in a chromosome?
They help fold and coil DNA to make it smaller.
What is the role of proteins in the chromosome?
They help fold and coil DNA to make it smaller.
A chromosome is made up of even smaller bodies?
It is made up of genes.
What problem does chromosome number of various organisms present to evolutionists?
Evolutionists say that the smaller the animal the smaller the number of chromosomes.
The Y chromosome is larger and carries fewer genes than the X chromosome?
No. The Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome. There are only about 70 active genes on the Y chromosome and many more deleteriously mutated one. The X chromosome contains many more active genes and only crosses over marginally with the Y chromosome.
Most sex-linked genes are found on which chromosome x y?
Many sex-linked genes are found on the X chromosome. More than 100 sex-linked genetic disorders have now been mapped to the X chromosome. The human Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome and appears to contain only few genes.
