What is the alternate form of a gene called?
Alleles are alternative forms of genes.
A trait which is inherited on sex chromosomes is?
Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
Alleles found on the same chromosomes are what?
Alleles are different versions of the same gene
What is it called when there are more than two alleles present in a population?
Chromosomes are made of tightly wound DNA and protein. Genes are found along the length of chromosomes. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains instructions for making a specific protein or proteins required by the body. Human beings have about 30,000 - 35,000 genes. We have two copies of each gene, but the copies can be slightly different. For example, the gene associated with cystic fibrosis has more than 1000 different variations. Different versions of the same gene are called its alleles, and everyone has two alleles for each gene. (Males have only one X chromosome, so they only have one copy of the genes located on the X chromosome.)
Why do the chromosomes in a homologous pair differ from one another?
They have the same length and gene locus but differ in terms of alleles. An allele is a form of a gene, differing from other alleles of the gene by a few bases at most and occupying the same locus as the other alleles of that gene. The gene locus is the position of a gene on a chromosome. Hope that helped! They have the same length and gene locus but differ in terms of alleles.

What does it means to have homologous chromosomes?
the gene's alleles are found in matched chromosome pairs
What is an allele inherited on a sex-chromosome?
A gene found on a sex chromosome is known as a sex-linked gene. Alleles are the different forms of a gene.
What is the alternate form of a gene called?
Alleles are alternative forms of genes.
A trait which is inherited on sex chromosomes is?
Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
If two alleles are found on different chromosomes how will they be passed from one generation to the next?
The chromosomes may undergo the process of "crossing-over", where the genes can be transferred from one chromosome on to the other one.
What chromosome is the language gene found in?
Chromosome 7
Which chromosome is found only in males?
Y chromosome
Alleles found on the same chromosomes are what?
Alleles are different versions of the same gene
Which chromosome number is the gene for narcolepsy found on?
The gene associated with narcolepsy is found on chromosome 12 in humans. This gene is called HLA-DQB1*06:02 and is a key genetic factor contributing to susceptibility to narcolepsy.
What is the maximum number of alleles that can be found in a population for the same locus?
There is no maximum number of alleles. Biology Major

How many alleles are found in the gamete cell?
