What else can I help you with?
For a gene with its locus on the X chromosome what term do you use to describe a male that only has one copy of this gene?
Hemizygous - has 1/1 copy of the allele Heterozygous - has 1/2 copies of the alleleHomozygous - has 2/2 copies of the allele
What scientific term describes a change in a gene?
A mutation
What is the term for when an organism has two identical alleles for a trait?
The term is homozygous.This means that the alleles of a particular gene, at a particular locus on a specific chromosome, are the same.
Why might gene therapy be performed?
Gene therapy may be performed to treat genetic disorders caused by mutations in a person's DNA. It can involve introducing a functional copy of the gene into the cells to restore normal function. Gene therapy holds the potential to provide long-term or permanent solutions to genetic diseases.
What name do scientists use to describe a change in a gene?
Scientists use the term "mutation" to describe a change in a gene. Mutations can be caused by various factors and can result in a range of effects, from no noticeable change to significant alterations in the organism's characteristics.
What term refers to a factor that causes a change in a gene or chromosome?
mutation
For a gene with its locus on the X chromosome what term do you use to describe a male that only has one copy of this gene?
Hemizygous - has 1/1 copy of the allele Heterozygous - has 1/2 copies of the alleleHomozygous - has 2/2 copies of the allele
What scientific term describes a change in a gene?
A mutation
What is the name given to genes that have more than two alleles?
Polymorphic locus or polymorphic gene. Many geneticists use the term locus (plr. loci) for a gene (i.e. section of a chromosome)
What do you call the physical location of a gene?
The specific term is gene locus. If the exact location is known then there is more specific terminology that refers to the chromosome number whether the locus is on the short (p) or long (q) arm of the chromosome and it's specific location based on band and sub-band location.
What is the biolagy term for allele?
The biology term for allele is a variant form of a gene, which can result in different traits or characteristics. Alleles are located at specific positions on a chromosome and can be dominant or recessive.
What is the meaning of piga-piga?
Piga is a term used in the medical field. Essentially, it refers to a gene on chromosome Xp22.1 that encodes a certain trans membrane protein.
Which type of mutation can lead to the loss of gene chromosome?
The term is monosomy, in which one chromosome of a pair is missing. Turner's Syndrome is an example of monosomy, in which there is only one sex chromosome, which is the X chromosome. Humans with Turner's Syndrome are female, but sterile. The genotype of the sex chromosomes in Turner's Syndrome is XO, in which O represents a missing chromosome.
What is the term for when an organism has two identical alleles for a trait?
The term is homozygous.This means that the alleles of a particular gene, at a particular locus on a specific chromosome, are the same.
Which term describes a change in the gene pool due to migration?
The term that describes a change in the gene pool due to migration is "gene flow." Gene flow occurs when individuals from one population migrate and breed with individuals from another population, introducing new genetic material and altering the allele frequencies within the gene pool. This process can enhance genetic diversity and reduce differences between populations.
How long does a Trademark Assignment filed last?
An assignment is permanent; the term of protection for the trademark does not change.
Why might gene therapy be performed?
Gene therapy may be performed to treat genetic disorders caused by mutations in a person's DNA. It can involve introducing a functional copy of the gene into the cells to restore normal function. Gene therapy holds the potential to provide long-term or permanent solutions to genetic diseases.
