DNA carries genetic information, the gene is the basic unit of heredity which contains a sequence of nucleotides at a given position on a given chromosome. The paired bases are in the DNA and the codons are words of 3 letters in the genetic code.
A point mutation, specifically a substitution mutation, is when only one nucleotide base is altered in a gene sequence, affecting one codon. This can result in a change in the amino acid encoded by that codon in the mRNA, impacting the protein produced by the gene.
Homologous chromosomes
A given gene is present on exactly two chromosomes in a somatic cell.
That would be a start codon.
Sections of chromosomes that code for a trait are called genes.
An organism is homozygous for a particular gene when identical alleles of the gene are present on both homologous chromosomes. (see related link)

transferering of gene
False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
That would be a start codon.
mutation
the answer is sex chromosomes
at the same place on homologous chromosomes source: Alleles of a gene reside at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
