What chromosomes determine male sex?
The Y chromosome is the chromosome that determines male sex. It carries the SRY gene that triggers the development of male characteristics during embryogenesis.
Is aldox gene in drosophila autosomal or sex?
The aldox gene in Drosophila is located on an autosome, not on the sex chromosomes. Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that contain genes responsible for general physiological functions, while sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex.
Are sex chromosomes called homozygous chromosomes?
No, sex chromosomes are not referred to as homozygous chromosomes. Homozygous chromosomes have identical alleles at a specific gene locus, while sex chromosomes determine an individual's biological sex. In humans, sex chromosomes include X and Y chromosomes.
What is allele inherited on sex chromosomes?
Sex-linked gene
A gene is a small section of DNA located in structures?
known as chromosomes. Genes contain the instructions needed for the synthesis of proteins, which ultimately determine an organism's traits and functions. Each gene carries specific information that influences different aspects of an organism's development and physiology.
What carries the gene that determine?
the answer is sex chromosomes
What chromosomes determine male sex?
The Y chromosome is the chromosome that determines male sex. It carries the SRY gene that triggers the development of male characteristics during embryogenesis.
Which chromosome carries a gene which is essential for maleness?
The Y chromosome carries the SRY gene (Sex-determining Region Y) which is essential for male sexual development. The SRY gene triggers the development of male sex characteristics during fetal development.
What causes a chicken to be a male or female?
The sex of a chicken is determined by genes when the egg is fertilized. It should be a 50/50 chance of male or female. And in the case of chickens it is the females that have the xy gene that determine sex and males that carry the xx gene, this is opposite of mammals where males with their xy gene determine the sex of the offspring.
How do you test a horse for OLW?
A blood test can be performed by a veterinarian perhaps to determine if a horse carries the gene.
Is aldox gene in drosophila autosomal or sex?
The aldox gene in Drosophila is located on an autosome, not on the sex chromosomes. Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that contain genes responsible for general physiological functions, while sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex.
If a man carries a harmful sex-linked gene in his X chromosome who will he pass this on to?
He will pass this harmful sex-linked gene on to his daughters. Sons will inherit their Y chromosome from their father, not his X chromosome.
Can a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait?
Yes, a single recessive gene can determine the nature of a trait if it is expressed and not masked by a dominant gene. In cases where the individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene, the trait will be expressed.
Does the male or female determine the gender in humans?
It is the x or y chromosome in the sperm of males that determine the sex of the baby. The woman carries two x chromosomes and the sperm either carries another x (a girl) or a y (a boy).
What is an allele inherited on a sex-chromosome?
A gene found on a sex chromosome is known as a sex-linked gene. Alleles are the different forms of a gene.
Is there any way to prevent tay sachs?
There are a couple ways Tay-Sachs can be prevented; 1) determine if both you and your mate carry the Tay-Sachs gene 2) perform a prenatal diagnosis to determine if the fetus carries the Tay-Sachs gene Hope this helped!
Which specific gene, if any, is located on a sex chromosome?
The specific gene located on the sex chromosomes is the SRY gene, which is responsible for determining male sex characteristics.
