What do you call the physical location of a gene?
The specific term is gene locus. If the exact location is known then there is more specific terminology that refers to the chromosome number whether the locus is on the short (p) or long (q) arm of the chromosome and it's specific location based on band and sub-band location.
Do black people get progeria?
Progeria is an extremely rare genetic condition that mainly affects children of all ethnicities. However, there have been reported cases of black children diagnosed with progeria, but it is still very uncommon.
How are terms gene locus and allele related?
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.
What member of a pair or series of genes that occupies a specific position on a specific chromosome is referred to?
The position is called locus (plural: loci).
What does it mean the locus of control?
If you feel that you have control over your life, you have an internal locus of control. If, on the other hand, you feel that you are at the whims of fate, you have an external locus of control.
What is the progeria for karyotype?
Progeria, specifically Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the LMNA gene, which encodes the protein lamin A. This condition leads to accelerated aging in children, characterized by symptoms such as growth failure, hair loss, joint stiffness, and cardiovascular issues. The karyotype of individuals with progeria is typically normal, with no chromosomal abnormalities, but the mutation affects the structure and function of the lamin A protein, leading to the disease's symptoms.
Did Tom Cruise have progeria?

Can adults get Progeria?
No, adults can't get progeria, progeria is in the genes, so the person will be immediatly affected with it, you don't see adults with progeria, because most people with progeria die before they turn 13

Has anyone survives progeria?

Are there been any new genetic treatments to treat progeria?

Are people with progeria obese?

How likely is it for kids to get progeria?
