What name is given to a unit of a bacterial chromosome that controls the expression of a specific set of genes?

The unit of a bacterial chromosome that controls the expression of a specific set of genes is called an operon. Operons consist of a promoter, operator, and genes that work together to regulate gene expression in bacteria.


What scientist is credited with proving that genes are located on chromosomes?

The scientist credited with proving that genes are located on chromosomes is Thomas Hunt Morgan. Through his experiments on fruit flies in the early 20th century, Morgan was able to demonstrate that genes are physically linked to specific locations on chromosomes and are inherited together.


What is difference between DNA and genes?

A gene is a section of DNA that will eventually code for a specific protein. All genes are composed of DNA but not all DNA are genes. or It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a polypeptide. or A gene is a segment of DNA that will transcript for a specific protein.


What name is given to genes that regulate the genes involved in determining patterns of anatomical development?

These genes are called "homeotic genes" or "Hox genes." They play a crucial role in controlling the body plan of an organism during development by regulating the expression of other genes that determine anatomical structures.

Was there a gene in chromosome 7 of the human genome that was named after a game character?

Yes, there was. A specific gene in chromosome 7 of the human genome was given the official name of "Sonic", in a tribute to Sonic the Hedgehog. However the name has now been retracted, as have all the other "comedy" names for human genes, to make the field a more serious subject.
