Where are the genes that determine gender found?
The genes that determines gender can be found in the Y chromosome.
Why does the y chromosome not carry any alleles?
The Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome and contains fewer genes. It carries the genes necessary for determining male sex and some other genes, but it lacks many of the genes present on the X chromosome. This is why the Y chromosome does not carry any alleles in the same way that the X chromosome does.
How many times bigger is the x chromosome from the y chromosome?
In terms of base pairs, the X chromosome is about 155 megabases (million bases), and the Y is about 57 megabases. Note that there can be variation in the lengths of Y chromosomes between men, due to different amounts of constitutive heterochromatin on the long arm. That is, the long arm of the Y contains repeated sequences. The number of these sequences can be different between individuals, thus the size of the chromosome can be different between men.
What chromosome contains sex-linked genes?
X and Y
How do X and Y chromosome differ?
The X chromosome is larger and carries more genetic information than the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome carries the genes that determine male sex characteristics, while the X chromosome carries genes that are important for both male and female development. Males typically have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
Where are the genes that determine gender found?
The genes that determines gender can be found in the Y chromosome.
Most sex-linked genes are found on which chromosome x y?
Many sex-linked genes are found on the X chromosome. More than 100 sex-linked genetic disorders have now been mapped to the X chromosome. The human Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome and appears to contain only few genes.
Genes that determine sex-linked traits in humans are found on the?
Y chromosome.
Sex-linked genes are usually found in which chromosome?
Sex linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes.
If a characteristic is sex-linked then where is the gene for it found?
Genes for sex-linked traits can be found on the sex chromosomes - X and Y. Almost all sex-linked traits are determined by the X chromosome, because it is much larger than the Y chromosome and can thus carry more genes. A few sex-linked traits are known on the Y chromosome, including - believe it or not - hairy ears.
The Y chromosome is larger and carries fewer genes than the X chromosome?
No. The Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome. There are only about 70 active genes on the Y chromosome and many more deleteriously mutated one. The X chromosome contains many more active genes and only crosses over marginally with the Y chromosome.
Why does the y chromosome not carry any alleles?
The Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome and contains fewer genes. It carries the genes necessary for determining male sex and some other genes, but it lacks many of the genes present on the X chromosome. This is why the Y chromosome does not carry any alleles in the same way that the X chromosome does.
Which chromosomes carries the fewest numbers of genes?
The y chromosome, which only contains a few hundred genes.
Does the y chromosome contain genes?
Yes.
Genes that are carried on the X or the Y chromosome?
Sex-Linked genes.
How many genes are typically found in a chromosome?
Typically, a chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.
How many times bigger is the x chromosome from the y chromosome?
In terms of base pairs, the X chromosome is about 155 megabases (million bases), and the Y is about 57 megabases. Note that there can be variation in the lengths of Y chromosomes between men, due to different amounts of constitutive heterochromatin on the long arm. That is, the long arm of the Y contains repeated sequences. The number of these sequences can be different between individuals, thus the size of the chromosome can be different between men.
