A chromosome is more "complex" than a gene.:)
Chromosome 19 has a blue/green gene. Chromosome 15 has a brown/blue gene. The genetics of eye color are more complex than realized previously, and more than one gene is involved in determining eye color.
No, just because a the number of chromosomes are higher, does not make it complex. There are certain plants with over 1,000 chromosomes, while we only have 46 and we are deffinetly more complex than a plant.
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.
When a gene is linked to a chromosome, it means that the gene is physically located on that chromosome. This means that the gene is inherited along with the chromosome it is located on, and may be inherited together with other nearby genes on the same chromosome.
Color blindness is an example of a trait that is inherited on sex chromosomes. It is passed down on the X chromosome, and males are more likely to be colorblind because they have only one X chromosome.

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).

no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...
Males only have one X chromosome, so even if the gene on that chromosome is recessive there is no other gene that could dominate it. Females have two X chromosomes, so if the gene on that chromosome is recessive there is still a chance that the gene on the other chromosome could be dominate and override it.
The defective gene in Hurler syndrome is located on chromosome 4. This gene carries instructions for making an enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase, which is essential for breaking down certain complex molecules in the body. When this gene is mutated, the enzyme is deficient, leading to the accumulation of harmful substances in the cells.
The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is called it's locus.
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.
