Yes they do, but these genes may be both dominant, both recessive or one dominant and its counterpart on another chromosome recessive.

Word describing the two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits?

Homologous chromosomes carry genes for the same traits at corresponding loci. They are similar in size and shape and are inherited from each parent.


What role do chromosomes play in the genetic makeup of monkeys?

Chromosomes are structures in cells that carry genetic information. In monkeys, chromosomes determine traits like fur color, size, and behavior. They contain genes that code for specific traits, influencing the genetic makeup of monkeys.


What do chromosomes carry that determine the organisms traits?

Chromosomes carry genes, which are segments of DNA that code for specific traits or characteristics of an organism. Genes are the instructions for producing proteins, which ultimately determine an organism's physical and biological traits.


What is the relationship between alleles and chromosomes?

All chromosomes consist of genes and non coding material. Animals with chromosomes arranged in the double helix pattern have two almost identical genes on the chromosomes opposite from the other. When those two genes in particular are discussed, they are called alleles. Frequently one is expressed and one is not, or one is dominant and the other is not.


Located on chromosomes and carry hereditary instructions?

Genes are located on chromosomes and contain the genetic instructions that determine traits and characteristics passed on from parents to offspring. These instructions are in the form of DNA sequences that code for specific proteins or functional RNA molecules.

Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?

Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.


Is genes are larger than chromosomes true or false?

False. Chromosomes are larger than genes. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain many genes, which are segments of DNA that code for specific traits or functions. In essence, chromosomes are made up of DNA, which includes multiple genes along their length.

How does DNA help with the transfer of genetic material from parents to offspring?

Yes, it does. You get 23 chromosomes from your mother and 23 from your father. These chromosomes contain DNA, which is the code for making genes. Since you get DNA from your parents, you also get genes from them.

What is found within the nucleus that carries the code that determines the traits of organisms?

Chromosomes (DNA/genes).

Can chromosomes determine what characterisitcs a living thing will have?

Chromosomes contain genetic information that determines an organism's traits. The genes on the chromosomes code for specific proteins which influence an organism's characteristics like eye color, height, and other physical features. However, environmental factors also play a role in how these traits are expressed.


What is a spooled string of genes inside the nucleus rod-shaped and carry the genetic code?

Chromosomes are the spooled strings of genes inside the nucleus. They are rod-shaped structures that contain DNA, which carries the genetic code for an organism.


Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes containing genes that code?

same traitsthe same traits as each other. Different chromosome pairs code for different traits than other chromosome pairs do though. Only homologous chromosomes (chromosome pairs) code for the same trait as each other.
