What role do chromosomes play in inhertance?
Genes are located on chromosomes. Genes are simply regions on chromosomes that code for polypeptides.
Explain how DNA genes and chromosomes are related?
DNA is the molecule that genes are made of. Chromosomes are the (arbitrary) clumping that genes form in cells.
What word means carry genes that determine the sex of offspring?
the answer is DNA chromosomes.
What chromosomes store the hereditary material called?
Well, darling, the hereditary material is stored in the chromosomes, specifically in the form of genes. These genes are made up of DNA, which is tightly packed into those X and Y chromosomes. So, to put it simply, it's those chromosomes that hold the keys to your genetic inheritance.
Is DNA tied to genes?
Well, yes and no. The genes are not tied to the DNA; they are tied to chromosomes, which make up DNA, in the nucleolus of the cell.
Are the chromosomes located in the genes?
No, the genes are in the chromosomes
Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
Are chromosomes found on genes?
Chromosomes contain genes, which are the units of inheritance that carry genetic information. Genes are located on specific locations on chromosomes, known as gene loci. Each chromosome carries hundreds to thousands of genes that determine an individual's traits and characteristics.
Difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes are structures that contain genes, which are the functional units of heredity. Genes are specific segments of DNA that encode information for producing proteins, while chromosomes are made up of DNA and protein and contain many genes. Chromosomes are organized in pairs in a cell's nucleus, while genes are the specific units on chromosomes responsible for inherited traits.
What role do chromosomes play in inhertance?
Genes are located on chromosomes. Genes are simply regions on chromosomes that code for polypeptides.
The genes on the x and y chromosomes are called what?
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
How are genes chromosomes and DNA related?
if a cat has 38 chromosomes in each of its body celss, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis?
Do genes on the same chromosome separate?
Genes on the same chromosome can separate through a process called genetic recombination or crossing over during meiosis. This process can shuffle genes between homologous chromosomes, creating genetic diversity in offspring.
What located on chromosomes and carry hereditary instructions?
Genes are located on chromosomes and carry hereditary instructions that are passed from parents to offspring. Genes determine various traits and characteristics in living organisms.
What do homologus chromosomes do?
Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes containing genes for the same traits at the same locations, one inherited from each parent. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate and recombine to create genetic diversity in offspring. They help ensure that the proper number of chromosomes is passed on to the next generation.
Are genes inherited the same way as chromosomes?
Genes are contained in chromosomes - therefore they are inherited together.
Are chromosomes a DNA molecule with many genes?
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
