What makes a disease genetic?
A genetic desiese is your chromosomes or genes aren't how they are supposed to be. For example if someone has 47 chromosomes instead of 46 then they have a genetic disorder.
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes is a?
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through the chromosomes or genes is a genetic disorder.
Why is aids a genetic disease?
because it is a disease passed on from dna
What do you call Combined chromosomes?
Combined chromosomes are often referred to as "chromosomal fusions" or "fusion chromosomes." This occurs when two or more chromosomes merge together, which can happen naturally or through genetic manipulation. In some instances, such as in certain cancers or genetic disorders, these fusions can lead to abnormal cell behavior and disease.
Is genetic diversity due entirely to inherited genes on the sex chromosomes?
No, genetic diversity is not solely due to genes on the sex chromosomes. It is influenced by variation in the entire genome, including genes on autosomes and mitochondrial DNA. Genetic diversity also arises from mutations, gene flow, and genetic recombination during meiosis.

How can you tell if a trait is hereditary?
If something is a GENETIC disease (or disorder) it has to do with the body's chromosomes.
Is Huntington's disease caused by 3 chromosomes of the 21st pair?
page 314 Huntington's disease is lethal GENETIC DISORDER caused by a rare dominant allele. It's not a chromosonal disease, it is a genetic disorder. D
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.

Where is genetic information in the nucleus stored?
Genetic information is stored in the chromosomes.
Can you explain how homologous chromosomes are related and what role they play in genetic inheritance?
Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that carry the same genes, one from each parent. They are related because they have similar genetic information. During sexual reproduction, homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over, which increases genetic diversity. Homologous chromosomes play a crucial role in genetic inheritance by ensuring that offspring receive a combination of genetic traits from both parents.
What is a sex-linked trait and how does it differ from other types of genetic traits?
A sex-linked trait is a genetic characteristic that is determined by genes located on the sex chromosomes, specifically the X or Y chromosomes. This differs from other types of genetic traits because they are not influenced by the sex chromosomes and can be located on any of the other chromosomes in the cell.
The sequencing of human chromosomes 21 and 22 showed that?
Chromosomes 21 and 22 are two of the smallest human chromosomes; they were the first to be fully sequenced as part of the Human Genome Project. The sequencing of these chromosomes has provided valuable insights into genetic variation, disease associations, and evolutionary relationships. Studies have shown that these chromosomes play a significant role in various genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome.
