Is DNA located in chromosomes?
DNA is actually in cells. Chromosomes are found on DNA.
Is bacteria offspring identical or different to the parent cell?
cause there is parts of the parents DNA in the smaller ones
What is the relationship between a chromosome and DNA?
Chromosomes are long strands of DNA that contain our genetic information. DNA is the molecule that makes up chromosomes, and it is organized into genes on the chromosomes. Each cell in our body contains a set of chromosomes that help determine our traits and characteristics.
What is a carrier for hemophilia?
A carrier for hemophilia is a female who carries the genetic mutation for hemophilia on one of her X chromosomes, but does not exhibit symptoms of the condition herself. Carriers can pass on the gene mutation to their children, resulting in hemophilia in male offspring. Testing can confirm carrier status.
Does DNA have chromosomes in it or is it the other way around?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form structures called nucleosomes, which then coil and condense to create chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a single, long DNA molecule.
Why Hemophilia more common in male than in female?
The genes associated with Hemophilia A and B are located on the X chromosome, which is one of the 2 sex chromosomes. For males, who have only 1 X chromosome, 1 altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause hemophilia. In females, who have 2 X chromosomes, a mutation would have to occur in both copies of the gene to cause hemophilia. Since it is unlikely that females will have 2 altered copies of this gene it is therefor very rare for females to have hemophilia.
What causes a baby to come out deformed?
Mutations in their chromosomal DNA. Each parent gives chromosomes to the baby, and when they meet sometimes there are doubles of chromosomes, missing chromosomes, or mutated chromosomes which cause abnormalities in the DNA and overall the child.
Does DNA contain 23 chromosomes?
No. DNA doesn't contain chromosomes. Chromosomes are DNA.
How can a mutation in a DNA base sequence cause change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
How can a mutation in a DNA bases sequence cause a change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
The allele for hemophilia is on the x chromosomes and is a?
Sex-linked genes
Is DNA located in chromosomes?
DNA is actually in cells. Chromosomes are found on DNA.
How are DNA and chromosomes related?
Chromosomes are structures composed of DNA and proteins that are found in the nucleus of cells. DNA is coiled around proteins called histones to form chromatin, which further condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. Chromosomes contain the genetic information in the form of DNA that determines an organism's traits.
What is the link between DNA and chromosomes?
DNA is housed in chromosomes.
Why is hemophilia more common in males than in females?

The DNA of a cell is organized into structures. What are these structures called?
