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.


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.


What is the term for any permanent change in a gene of chromosome?

A mutation is the term for any permanent change in a gene or chromosome. Mutations can be caused by various factors, such as errors during DNA replication or exposure to certain environmental factors like radiation or chemicals.


What are gene map's and how are they produced?

Gene maps show the location of genes on a chromosome. They are produced using data from genetic markers that are known to be located near specific genes. Techniques like genetic linkage analysis and genome sequencing are used to determine the order and distance between genes on a chromosome.
