No. A chromosome is composed of proteins and genes.
nucleus → chromosome → gene
An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is found at the same location on a chromosome.
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.
A gene locus refers to the specific position of a gene on a chromosome, while an allele refers to different versions of the same gene that can exist at a particular locus. In other words, a gene locus is the physical location of a gene on a chromosome, while an allele is a specific variant or form of that gene found at that locus.
no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...
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.
homologous chromosomes
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).
The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is called it's locus.
An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is found at the same location on a chromosome.
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.

Alfred Sturtevant used gene linkage to create gene maps by analyzing the patterns of inheritance of genes located on the same chromosome. By studying how often certain genes were inherited together, he was able to determine their relative positions on the chromosome. This information allowed him to create the first genetic maps, which showed the linear order of genes along a chromosome.
It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
