What traits like colorblindness that are carried on the x chromosome are what genes?
Traits like colorblindness, hemophilia, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy are carried on the X chromosome. These traits are caused by mutations in specific genes located on the X chromosome, such as the OPN1LW and OPN1MW genes for colorblindness and the F8 and F9 genes for hemophilia.
Genes for two different traits that are located next to each other on the same chromosome would most likely be?
Inherited together if they are close enough, a phenomenon known as genetic linkage. This is because the genes are less likely to undergo independent assortment during meiosis due to their physical proximity on the chromosome.
Are linked genes genes located on the same chromosome?
Yes, linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome.
What are the key differences between cis and trans genetics and how do they impact inheritance patterns?
Cis and trans genetics refer to the arrangement of genes on a chromosome. In cis genetics, genes are located on the same chromosome, while in trans genetics, genes are located on different chromosomes. This impacts inheritance patterns because genes that are close together on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together, while genes on different chromosomes are inherited independently. This can affect the likelihood of certain traits being passed down together or separately in offspring.
Did Mendel find all the 7 traits on 7 different chromosome?
Gregor Mendel studied seven different traits in pea plants, but these traits were not necessarily found on seven distinct chromosomes. Instead, each trait is controlled by genes located on different chromosomes, and the principles of Mendelian genetics apply to the inheritance of these traits independently of their chromosomal location.

Are linked genes genes located on the same chromosome?
Yes, linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome.
What are sex-link genes and their effects?
Since males are the only sex to have a y chromosome, only males can get genes that are linked to the Y chromosome. This means that some genetic diseases and conditions are more likely to be male such as color blindness.

Is each chromosome responsible for one characterristic?
I think so. According to my genotyping performed by 23and me, my 9th chromosome is where I derive most of my 1% Sub-Saharan African descent from. This, according to several recent studies published in the New England Journal has a high correlation to people with unkempt households (like mine).
What are sub-units of a chromosome that determine specific traits are called?
gene (I think...) The units of a chromosome that code for traits are genes.
Are linked genes on the same chromosome?
Yes, linked genes are located on the same chromosome.
Why didn't Mendel observe linkage?
Mendel did not observe linkage because, by chance, he chose traits whose genes resided on different chromosomes. Genes on different chromosomes assort independently. To answer the question of 'Who discovered gene linkage?'...The answer is British geneticists William Bateson and Reginald Punnett.
What are genes that are located on one sex chromosome but not the other called?
Genes that are located on one sex chromosome but not the other are called sex-linked genes.
What is the Specific units of a chromosome that carry individual traits?
genes
