Whats a change in gene or chromosome?

A change in a gene could involve a mutation that alters the DNA sequence, affecting the function of the protein it codes for. A change in a chromosome could involve alterations in the structure, number, or distribution of genetic material, leading to genetic disorders or diseases.

The change in the position of a gene on a chromosome is called a mutation or a chromosomal rearrangement. This change can result in alterations to the structure or function of the gene, leading to different traits or diseases.

How do chromosome mutations affect an individual?

Chromosome mutations can result in changes in the number of chromosomes in a cell or changes in the structure of a chromosome. Unlike a gene mutation which alters a single gene or larger segment of DNA on a chromosome, chromosome mutations change and impact the entire chromosome.


What is a segment with information to make a protein?

A segment of DNA on a chromosome that controls the production of a protein is called a gene. Chromosome a cellular structure that contains DNA.


What are 4 types of chromosome structural changes?

The four types of alterations of chromosome structure are deletion, duplication, inversion, and reciprocal translocation. Deletion is the loss of one or more nucleotides from a gene by mutation; the loss of a fragment of a chromosome. Duplication is repition of a part of a chromosome resulting from fusion with a fragment froma homologous chromosome. Duplication can result from an error in meiosis or from mutagenesis. Inversion is a change in a chromosomeresulting from reattachment of a chromosome fragment to the original chromosome, but in a reverse direction. Mutagens and errors during mesosis can cause inversions. Translocation is the attachment of a chromosomal fragment to a nonhomologous chromosome.


Is a mutation part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait?

no. what you described is a gene. a mutation is a change in the DNA which can sometimes change a gene


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).
