The majority of Chromosomal DNA is non-coding and the location of genes are very important and affect the way they are passed on.
Here is a response from a geneticist, in point form:
1. Both autosome and sex chromosomes contain genes.
2. A gene is a strand of DNA, a fragment of chromosome
3. Not all of DNA on chromosome contains gene signals. A DNA sequence that
contains gene signals are called coding sequence or exon.
4. Usually, a coding sequence or exon for a gene is broken into several pieces by introns
(nonsense DNA ) on chromosome.
5. During transcription, the whole DNA strand for a gene is transcribed into mRNA. An editing process in cytoplasm removes the nonsense introns. The remaining mRNA will be translated into protein.
6. For diploid organism, there are two sets of DNA strands, or two alleles for a particular gene. Both alleles can be expressed (translated into protein).
7. Very often, we use the word gene for both DNA double strands (two alleles) and a specific allele. This may cause confusion.
Yes. Only the sperms and the ova are haploid.
A cellwith two of each kind of chromosomeis called a diploid cell and is said to contain a diploid, or 2n, number of chromosomes.
Diploid
housfly has 12 chromosomese in diploid
I think you are referring to a diploid organism: one that has two of each chromosome.
The condition in which a diploid cell is missing a chromosome or has an extra chromosome is called aneuploidy.
yes zygote do have diploid chromosome number
Yes. Only the sperms and the ova are haploid.
no
A diploid cell with an extra chromosome. Basically a diploid with an extra chromosome of one type, producing a chromosome number of the form 2n + l.
it has split in two
Haploid
46
It is fully diploid - chromosome configuration 2n -.
