What is it called when genes are located on the same chromosome?

When genes are located on the same chromosome, it is called gene linkage. This can influence their inheritance pattern because they tend to be inherited together, unless crossing over occurs during meiosis.


Are master genes and homeotic genes the same thing?

Master genes and homeotic genes are related but not the same. Homeotic genes are a specific type of master gene that regulate the development of anatomical structures in organisms, determining the identity of body parts. Master genes generally refer to genes that control the expression of other genes and play crucial roles in regulating developmental processes. Thus, while all homeotic genes are master genes, not all master genes are homeotic genes.


Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?

Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.


What is it called when genes in a gene pair blend together?

They are the genes from the male and female genes , or the X and Y chromosomes. The dominate genes is featured in the offspring.


If you inherit half of your genes from your mother and half of your genes from your father what percent of your genes did you inherit from each of your grandparent?

You inherit 50% of your genes from each parent, and since each parent inherits half of their genes from each of their parents (your grandparents), you receive 25% of your genes from each grandparent. Therefore, you inherit 25% of your genes from each of your four grandparents.

Which one pair of genes is the weakest?

It is difficult to determine a specific pair of genes as the "weakest" because gene strength can vary depending on context. Generally, genes may be considered weaker if they have lower expression levels or if mutations in them have a milder effect on the phenotype.

It could be several different factors. I could be genes, nutrition, or good hair care.


Where are the instructions that code for how an organism develops from?

The genes produce proteins that code for how an organism develops. Proteins are either structural or functional. Functional proteins make stuff like enzymes (such as amylase that break down starch in food into maltose) Structural proteins make stuff like skin, hair and bones. Genes are a short length of a chromosome, which is coils of DNA which is found in the nucleus of the cell.


Are polygenic genes dominant genes?

Polygenic genes are usually dominant genes.


Does prokaryotes have genes?

Of course they have genes. They need genes for survival and reproduction.


Do dominant genes affect recessive genes?

The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away


Are linked genes genes located on the same chromosome?

Yes, linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome.


Which genes are dominant and which are recessive?

Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
