Which human chromosome carries the gene for the enzyme telomerase?
Chromosome 5.The gene is known as TERT (or, in humans, hTERT) and is the most distal gene on the short arm of chromosome 5 (5p). Its location is 5p15.33. For more detail, see the link below.
If a man carries a harmful sex-linked gene in his X chromosome who will he pass this on to?
Only to his daughters.
What part of a chromosome carries information and controls a trait?
genei think its in the genetic code that comes from the order the bases are in on a strand of DNA the DNA is in a gene witch is in a chromosome
How does y chromosome determine maleness in humans?
XX = female. XY= male because the Y chromosome has SRY gene (Sex-deterimining Region Y). The SRY gene in mammals makes the body produce testis which makes testosterone making the foetus male. For more information, please see the related link below.
What is the sry gene?
The SRY gene is a gene on the Y chromosome required for the development of testes. It stands for Sex determining Region on Y chromosome.

Is a mutation part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait?
no. what you described is a gene. a mutation is a change in the DNA which can sometimes change a gene
A short and simple definition of gene?
A gene is a part of the chromosome what is linked to your DNA it carries the proteins which make you, you! Factors that control traits.

Only to his daughters.

What various types of genetic material in order from simplest to most complex?
nucleus → chromosome → gene
List these in order from smallest to largest chromosome gene cell?
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).

Gene is it the same as a chromosome?
no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...
Is the SRY gene responsible for testosterone?
Indirectly. The SRY gene is responsible for activating the gene responsible for testosterone production (thereby causing 'maleness' in a developing foetus).
What is the sry gene?
The SRY gene is a gene on the Y chromosome required for the development of testes. It stands for Sex determining Region on Y chromosome.
What chromosome is the HBB gene on?
chromosome 11
