Genes for two different traits that are located next to each other on the same chromosome would most likely be?
Genes for two different traits that are located next to each other on the same chromosome would most likely be inherited together.
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.
If a characteristic is sex-linked then where is the gene for it found?
Genes for sex-linked traits can be found on the sex chromosomes - X and Y. Almost all sex-linked traits are determined by the X chromosome, because it is much larger than the Y chromosome and can thus carry more genes. A few sex-linked traits are known on the Y chromosome, including - believe it or not - hairy ears.
The father apart two genes are located on a chromosome?
The farthest apart two genes are located on a chromosome the less likely they are to be inherited together. If two genes are on the same chromosome and rarely assort independently the genes are probably located close to each other.
What traits like colorblindness that are carried on the x chromosome are what genes?
Traits carried on the x chromosome are said to be sex-linked
Genes for two different traits that are located next to each other on the same chromosome would most likely be?
Genes for two different traits that are located next to each other on the same chromosome would most likely be inherited together.
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.

What is the Specific units of a chromosome that carry individual traits?
genes
Where in the chromosome are genes located?
everywhere
The father apart two genes are located on a chromosome?
The farthest apart two genes are located on a chromosome the less likely they are to be inherited together. If two genes are on the same chromosome and rarely assort independently the genes are probably located close to each other.
Are sex linked traits also called X-linked traits?
Because the Y chromosome is so small and has relatively few genes, most sex-linked traits are governed by genes of the X sex chromosome, and are therefore X-linked.
What is it called when genes are located on the same chromosome?
Genes on the same chromosome are said to be linked.
What are the parts of a chromosome that control inherited traits?
The parts of a chromosome that control inherited traits is referred to as genes. There are many types of inherited traits, some visible while the others are invisible,
What traits like colorblindness that are carried on the x chromosome are what genes?
Traits carried on the x chromosome are said to be sex-linked
Genes that determine sex-linked traits in humans are found on the?
Y chromosome.
