Your genes are located in your chromosomes.
Most organisms, like humans, are made up of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
Genes are just segments of the DNA.
DNA is wrapped together to form structures called chromosomes.
The average human body has about 23 pairs of chromosomes. So, making 46 total.
Individual sperm and egg cells have 23 UNPAIRED chromosome.
Because you receive half chromosme from your mother and half from your father.
As female organisms are XX and male organisms are XY, if the two parents were to have a male offsspring for example, the male would be XY.
But if they were two have a female offsring, she would be XX.
The female took X from both parents. Whereas the male took only X from his mother and Y from his father.
GENES:
A unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the off spring.
I know I can drag on about things, but i hope this helped.:)

Are genes located on the autosomal called sex linked genes?
No, genes located on the autosomes are not called sex linked genes. Only genes located on the sex chromosomes are called sex linked genes.
Are chromosomes found on genes?
Genes are located on chromosomes and not chromosomes are located on genes. genes are the basic unit of inheritance and they resides on chromosomes.
On what structures in a cell are genes located?
In the nucleus of each cell in the human body (excluding gametes [23]) there are 46 chromosomes, these chromosomes consist of lots of different genes that all join up together (A to T, G to C) and each gene has a code for a certain part of your body.
The father apart two genes are located on a chromosome?
The farthest apart two genes are located on a chromosome the less likely they are to be inherited together. If two genes are on the same chromosome and rarely assort independently the genes are probably located close to each other.
What is a genes job?
A genes job is to inherrit traits from their parents to thier offsring.
Where can genes be found in the body?

What do you call the genes that are located on the sex chromosomes?
genes located on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes. In humans, there are two types of sex chromosomes: X and Y chromosomes.Genes located on the X chromosome are called X-linked and genes located on the Y chromosome are called Y-linked chromosomes.
