no
The only genes on this very small chromosome are the genes that make men as men. They are the male sex genes. There is no gene for intelligence.
Yes, linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome.
Genes that are located on the same chromosome are called linked genes. These genes tend to be inherited together during cell division because they are physically close to each other on the same chromosome.
Yes, linked genes are located on the same chromosome.
When genes are located on the same chromosome, it is called gene linkage. This can influence their inheritance pattern because they tend to be inherited together, unless crossing over occurs during meiosis.
Typically, a chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.
The number of genes varies. Most of any chromosome consists of non-coding DNA, which does not contain any genes. Each chromosome has many chromatins. One gene consists of many chromatins. Therefore, one chromosome could have many genes.
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.
There are thousands of genes in a chromosome.
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.
The y chromosome, which only contains a few hundred genes.
Genes that are located on one sex chromosome but not the other are called sex-linked genes.
