What does it mean to say that a gene is linked to a chromosome?
When a gene is linked to a chromosome, it means that the gene is physically located on that chromosome. This means that the gene is inherited along with the chromosome it is located on, and may be inherited together with other nearby genes on the same chromosome.
How did Alfred sturtevant use gene linkage to create gene maps?
Alfred Sturtevant used gene linkage to create gene maps by analyzing the patterns of inheritance of genes located on the same chromosome. By studying how often certain genes were inherited together, he was able to determine their relative positions on the chromosome. This information allowed him to create the first genetic maps, which showed the linear order of genes along a chromosome.
Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on heterologous chromosome true or false?
False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
Which human chromosome carries the gene for the enzyme telomerase?
Chromosome 5.The gene is known as TERT (or, in humans, hTERT) and is the most distal gene on the short arm of chromosome 5 (5p). Its location is 5p15.33. For more detail, see the link below.
Explain why a woman carrying a gene for hemophlia can produce hemophilic sons when she is mated with a normal male?
A woman carrying a gene for hemophilia is typically a carrier with one X chromosome carrying the hemophilia gene and one X chromosome carrying the normal gene. When she is mated with a normal male who has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, there is a 50% chance that the son will inherit the X chromosome carrying the hemophilia gene from the mother. Since males have only one X chromosome, if they inherit the hemophilia gene, they will express the disorder.
Gene is it the same as a chromosome?
no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...

Is a gene the same thinga as a chromosome?
No. A chromosome is composed of proteins and genes.
What type of chromosome always carry gene for the same trait at the same location on both chromosome?
homologous chromosomes
What various types of genetic material in order from simplest to most complex?
nucleus → chromosome → gene
List these in order from smallest to largest chromosome gene cell?
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
What is the relationship between the genes and chromosomes?
There are thousands of genes in a chromosome.
What name is given to the specific location of a gene on a chromosome?
The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is called it's locus.
What an allele?
An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is found at the same location on a chromosome.
What chromosome is the HBB gene on?
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.
Is an x chromosome and chromosome the same thing?
An x chromosome is specifically a feminine chromosome. With a x and y chromosome its male, with a x and x, it is a female.
Which chromosome contains the sex gene?
chromosome 1 chromosome 1
