What is the difference between chromosomes and genes?

Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain DNA, while genes are specific segments of DNA that provide instructions for a particular trait. Chromosomes house many genes, along with other DNA sequences, and are inherited in pairs, one from each parent. Genes determine specific traits, such as eye color or blood type.


If all cells in your body start out life with the same inherited information on how to build proteins then what caused the differences between a red blood cell and a white one Between a white blood?

The differences in cell type arise from the process of selective gene expression, which means that different sets of genes are activated or repressed in each cell type. This results in the production of specific proteins and ultimately determines the cell's function and characteristics. For example, red blood cells express genes that make them specialized for oxygen transport, while white blood cells express genes that make them part of the immune system.


Do different cells have different genes?

If the cells are from one individual, all will have the same genes except their sex cells which have 1/2 the number. A dog will have different genes from a cat. The genes make the cat different from the dog and human.


What best describes a difference between eukaryotic and paokaryotic cells?

One key difference is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells are typically larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.


What is one difference between the animal and plant cell?

One major difference between animal and plant cells is the presence of a cell wall in plant cells but not in animal cells. The cell wall provides structural support and protection in plant cells, while animal cells rely on other structures for support.

Do a pancreas cell and a skin cell have the same set of chrosomes?

All non-mutated somatic (non-sex cell) cells have the same chromasomes and same genes, within an organism. The difference between the cells is which of the genes are active in it.


What is the relationship between genes and cells?

How do genes affect cells?

Genes tell cells how to make proteins.


How is the cloning of genes different from the cloning mammals?

The difference between cloning genes and cloning a mammal is that when a gene is cloned, it is typically removed from a DNA sequence and inserted into an organism. The cloning of a mammal, however, is when a somatic cells from the mammal are cloned to produce a "copy" of the mammal.


How many genes do you have on one set of chromosomes in one of your cells?

Its the other way around. We have 46 chromosomes in each of our cells. The number of genes per chromosome varies between 500 and 4,000, with a total of about 32,000 genes in the 46 chromosomes.

What are the primary difference between prokaryotes cells and eukaryotes cells?

The main primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that the prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. The eukaryotic cells are also larger than the prokaryotic cells.
