There are 25,000 human genes on 23 chromosomes. There are hundreds of genes on the smaller chromosomes and thousands on the bigger ones.
nucleus → chromosome → gene
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).
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.
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.
no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...
The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is called it's locus.
Chromosome is more complex than gene. Chromosomes contain multiple genes along with other regulatory elements, while genes are specific sequences of DNA that encode for proteins or RNA molecules. Chromosomes also play a role in organizing and packaging genes within the cell nucleus.
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.
chromosome 1 chromosome 1
It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
