Which human chromosome carries the gene for the enzyme telomerase?
Jackjixing
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.

What portion of the human Y chromosome is homologous to the human X chromosome?
biology!
A human female inherits?
two copies of every gene located on the X chromosome.
Which sex chromosome do sperm cells carry?
Sperm cells are of two types. One type carries a Y chromosome, while the other type carries an X chromosome. This is the reason why the Spermatid is the 'deciding factor' in whether a baby will be male or female. The Ovum always carries an X chromosome.
How many chromosomes does a healthy human have?
There are 23 human chromosome pairs.
Each human chromosome is replicated in about how many sections?
Each human chromosome is replicated in about 100 sections. These sections are 10,000 nucleotides in terms of their length.
Enzyme responsible for indefinite growth of human cancer cells?
Telomerase is responsible for indefinite growth of human cancer cells.
What does the telomerase enzyme do?
Telomerase maintains the telomeres of chromosomes in order to prevent cell death. This enzyme added sequences onto the ends of the chromosomes, thereby preventing extreme shortening and loss of genetic material. In a way, telomerase would give cells immortal life, by continuously regenerating its ends. However, telomerase are usually inactive in the human body because normal cells do not divide frequently, and therefore, the chromosomes do not shorten.
What sex chromosome is found in human egg cell?
By human egg cell I guess you mean the oocyte (the one produced by the mother). The oocyte always carries the X chromosome, the sperm can either carry the Y or the X chromosome. Interestingly, the sperm which carries the Y is actually quicker than the one carrying the X, maybe because the X chromosome is far larger. So, if the Y chromosome sperm reaches the egg first, the child will be a boy (XY), and if the X chromosome sperm beats him to it, the child will be a girl (XX).
Which foods contain telomerase enzymes?
Human reproductive organs. Look it up!
What is Ceruloplasmin used for in the body?
Ceruloplasmin is an enzyme that is important in the human body. It is synthesized by the liver. It carries much copper and has a major role in iron metabolism.

Whay is then enzyme in human saliva?
The enzyme in human saliva is Amylase.
What chromosome determine human blood group?
chromosome 9
What are proportion of chromosome in a human skin cell are paternal chromosome?
50%
Is blood a chormosone?
Assuming your question is "Is blood a chromosome?" the answer is "no." A chromosome is a structure in the nucleus of a cell that carries genes that dictate the characteristics for an organism. A normal human cell nucleus has 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs. Blood is a fluid containing different types of cells and chemicals.
Is chromosome 19 autosomal or sex chromosome?
Chromosome#19 is autosomal cell when refering to the human system. The #23 chromsomes is the sex cell in the human body system.
What is the 17Th human chromosome?
Acrocentric
