In cases where a defective gene is located on the X chromosome, a female can inherit the gene from either parent. If the mother carries one defective X chromosome, she can pass it on to her daughter. Similarly, if the father has the defective gene on his single X chromosome, he will pass it to all his daughters, as they inherit his X chromosome. Therefore, females can receive the defective gene from both maternal and paternal sources.

What is Red green color blindness and hemophilia are two human genetic disorders that are caused by a what?

Color blindness is a sex-linked genetic disorder. The reason that it is more prevalent in males is because the disorder is linked the the X-chromasome. If a male inherits an X chromosome that is defective, then they will be color blind. However, a female has two X chromosomes which means she can receive a defective chromosome and only be a carrier of the mutation. If she receives two defective x chromosomes, she will be colorblind.

In humans what are the chromosome pairs 1 through 22 called?

Chromosome pair 23 in humans is the pair of sex chromosomes. In females, both sex chromosomes are the X sex chromosome, and in human males one sex chromosome is the X and the other is the Y chromosome.


If a trait is always transmitted directly from a father to all his sons and from those sons to all their son what chromosome would the gene for the character be likely on?

The gene for this trait is likely located on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and since only males have a Y chromosome, the trait will only be passed down through male lineage.


Is google chromosome an internet provider?

No, Google Chromosome is not an internet provider. Google Chromosome is not a service or product offered by Google either. It seems like there may be a confusion between Google Chromosome and Google Chrome, which is a web browser developed by Google.

the answer is TRANSLOCATION.


Suppose your looking through a microscope and you see an exchange of chromosome segments between chromosome pair 7 and chromosome pair 15?

An exchange of chromosome segments is called a translocation. In genetics, it refers to a chromosome abnormality caused by rearrangement of parts between nonhomologous chromosomes.

How can one determine if genes are on the same chromosome?

Genes are considered to be on the same chromosome if they are physically close to each other on that chromosome. This can be determined through genetic mapping techniques, such as linkage analysis or physical mapping, which help identify the relative positions of genes on a chromosome.

What does Transmission Fault warning light means on a 1998 Jaguar XK8?

The transmission for this model (and all the way through 2006) has a known defect. A recall was done in 1999, but only on a portion of the XK8s out there. After the recall, Jaguar did NOT redesign or modify the transmission and continued to put the same defective transmission in all successive models through year 2006. Because the transmissions is sealed for its lifetime (100k miles), it is not supposed to require any maintenance; however, because of the defect, these transmissions tend to fail around the 70,000 to 80,000 mile mark. The "Transmission Fault" message is your clue. Take it to your repair shop. They will likely have to replace the transmission at about $10,000 to $12,000 cost to you if you are no longer under warranty.


What is the role of chromosomes in the inheritance of genetic traits such as cystic fibrosis and Huntington's disease?

Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain DNA, which carries the genetic information necessary for inheritance. Genetic traits, including disorders like cystic fibrosis and Huntington's disease, are passed down through generations via chromosomes. These conditions are linked to specific genes located on chromosomes; cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene on chromosome 7, while Huntington's disease is linked to a mutation in the HTT gene on chromosome 4. Thus, the inheritance of these genetic traits occurs through the transmission of chromosomes from parents to offspring.
