sex-linked genes
What else can I help you with?
What are mini chromosomes also called?
Mini chromosomes are also called "microchromosomes." These are small chromosomes that typically contain fewer genes than standard chromosomes and are often found in certain species of plants and animals. They play significant roles in genetic diversity and adaptation. In some cases, they can also be referred to as "miniature chromosomes" or "supernumerary chromosomes."
What are genes that are on X and Y chromosomes that pass from parent to off spring called?
Genes located on the X and Y chromosomes that are passed from parents to offspring are referred to as sex-linked genes. In humans, the X chromosome carries many genes related to various traits and conditions, while the Y chromosome primarily carries genes related to male sex determination and spermatogenesis. Traits associated with these genes often exhibit inheritance patterns that differ from those of autosomal genes, particularly in terms of expression in males and females.
How are genes genomes and chromosomes related?
Chromosomes are strans of DNA genes are what chromosomes are made up of. A gene can be dominant or recessive and that is why one of you parents has brown eyes and the other has blue and you have brown because brown eyes is dominant and blue is recessive. Hope this helps
Why are even closely related siblings often different both in genotype and phenotype?
because chromosomes exchange genes before forming in eggs and sperms.
How are linked genes similar to sex linked genes how are they different?
Linked genes are genes that are located close to each other on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together during meiosis. Similarly, sex-linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes (X or Y) and their inheritance patterns differ between males and females due to their chromosomal differences. The key difference is that while linked genes can be located on any chromosome, sex-linked genes are specifically associated with the sex chromosomes. Additionally, sex-linked traits often show distinct patterns of inheritance based on the sex of the individual, which is not necessarily the case for linked genes.

What is the nick name for chromosomes?
Lots and lots of genes. And DNA strands. Made into a structure.

DNA is often tightly wound into structures called?
DNA is located in chromosomes inside the nucleus of a cell. This is called nuclear DNA. An organism's complete set of nuclear DNA is called its genome. Humans have a small amount of DNA found in structures mitochondria, which generates the energy the cell needs to function properly.
Why are even closely related siblings often different both in genotype and phenotype?
because chromosomes exchange genes before forming in eggs and sperms.
Genes that encode for drug resistance and can be shared between bacteria are often found on?
plasmid

What are genes that do not undergo independent assortment called?
Genes that do not undergo independent assortment are linked genes. These genes are located on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together more often than would be expected by chance.
Part of chromosomes where crossing over is correlated?
Crossing over occurs at regions called chiasmata during prophase I of meiosis, where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. This process typically happens at specific sites known as recombination hotspots, which are often located in areas of the chromosome that are rich in genes. The exchange increases genetic diversity in the resulting gametes.
Little rings found in the DNA of bacteria called?
Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria that replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often carry genes that can provide benefits to the bacteria, such as antibiotic resistance. Plasmids can be transferred between bacteria through a process called conjugation.
What is the visual of all nucleus chromosomes called?
The visual of all nucleus chromosomes is called a karyotype. It is a photographic image showing the number, size, and shape of chromosomes in an individual's cells. Karyotypes are often used in genetic testing to identify chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders.
