A scientist doing research found that flower color and pollen shape were traits that were always passed together. That is they did not fit Mendel's rule for independent assortment. Why might that be?
the 2 genes are carried on the same chromosome
Two genes for two different traits located on the same chromosome are said to be?
linked genes
If a characteristic is sex-linked then where is the gene for it found?
Genes for sex-linked traits can be found on the sex chromosomes - X and Y. Almost all sex-linked traits are determined by the X chromosome, because it is much larger than the Y chromosome and can thus carry more genes. A few sex-linked traits are known on the Y chromosome, including - believe it or not - hairy ears.
Genes for two different traits that are located next to each other on the same chromosome would most likely be?
Genes for two different traits that are located next to each other on the same chromosome would most likely be inherited together.
Why do traits that are controlled by genes on the same chromosome not always appear in the expected ratio in offspring?
I think this has something to do with "crossing over," but I do not remember the details. All I remember is that the allelle of one chromosome may overlap and switch with the allelle of another chromosome, which results in unexpected ratios of the genotypes and phenotypes of traits represented by genes that would normally be found on the same chromosome.
What is the name of genes that are carried on the same chromosome?
The genes that are carried on the same chromosome are called as the linked genes.
Genes that are carried on the X or the Y chromosome?
Sex-Linked genes.

What are sub-units of a chromosome that determine specific traits are called?
gene (I think...) The units of a chromosome that code for traits are genes.
Are there characteristic attached to the sex chromosomes other than gender?
Genetic diseases are often carried on the X chromosome. For example, hemophilia or colorblindness. Also, there are genes needed for the development of a fetus on the X chromosome. Scientists don't know their location, but they do know that a baby cannot be born without an X chromosome.
What is the Specific units of a chromosome that carry individual traits?
genes
Mother inherits color blindness what example is this?
Human being is the best example for this type of inheritance because the gene responsible for colorblindness is present on the X chromosome. Thus a heterozygous female is the carrier of colorblindness and some of the sons from this mother receiving the X chromosome with a gene for colorblindness will be colorblind because in males the other sex chromosome is Y, which remains neutral for such genes.
Two genes for two different traits located on the same chromosome are said to be?
linked genes
When are sex link traits due to occur?
Traits caused by proteins coded for on the sex (X and/or Y) chromosomes.
What role do DNA and chromosomes play in heredity?
according to the chromosome theory of inheritance,genes are carried from parents to their offspring on chromosomes.
Are sex linked traits also called X-linked traits?
Because the Y chromosome is so small and has relatively few genes, most sex-linked traits are governed by genes of the X sex chromosome, and are therefore X-linked.
What are the parts of a chromosome that control inherited traits?
The parts of a chromosome that control inherited traits is referred to as genes. There are many types of inherited traits, some visible while the others are invisible,
