No, chromosomes are made up of many genes
nucleus → chromosome → gene
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
genome -> chromosome -> DNA -> gene
nucleotide, gene, chromosome, gamete
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).
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.
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.

It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
If you're a mammal, the key gene that initiates gonad development into testes (the Sry gene) is located on the Y chromosome. However, be aware that while gene necessary for the initiation of the male developmental program is located on the Y chromosome, many genes absolutely essential for complete testes and male development are distributed across many other chromosomes.
