What chromosome is gene located for marfan syndrome?
The gene associated with Marfan syndrome is located on chromosome 15. It is called the FBN1 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called fibrillin-1. Mutations in this gene can lead to the characteristic features of Marfan syndrome.
How is an allele described in the context of genetics?
An allele is a specific version of a gene that determines a particular trait or characteristic in an organism. It is one of the alternative forms of a gene that can occupy a specific position on a chromosome.
How many characteristics does each gene contral?
2 genes control each characteristic of an offspring. x
What are two forms that a gene or allele may take?
A gene or allele may take a dominant form, or a recessive form. If the allele is recessive, the characteristic which is coded for will be exhibited only if both the gene from the male and the gene from the female is recessive. Only one copy of a dominant allele is required to cause expression of the dominant characteristic
