No - genes are sections of DNA found on chromosomes that encode for a functional product (like a protein).
Chromosomes are compact structures of DNA and proteins.

What is the sry gene?
The SRY gene is a gene on the Y chromosome required for the development of testes. It stands for Sex determining Region on Y 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.
What are mixed chromosome twins?
A twin gene is called an Allele - One of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
How do you write the definition of homologous chromosome using the terms gene and allele?
Same root
Whats a change in gene or chromosome?
A change in a gene or chromosome is called a: Mutation
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 an allele?
An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is found at the same location on a chromosome.
What is the sry gene?
The SRY gene is a gene on the Y chromosome required for the development of testes. It stands for Sex determining Region on Y 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.
What chromosome is the HBB gene on?
chromosome 11
Gene A occurs on chromosome 5 gene B on chromosome 21 Therefore these two parts of a chromosome cannot be what?
alleles
What are mixed chromosome twins?
A twin gene is called an Allele - One of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
