Genes for a certain trait are located on specific regions of chromosomes. Each gene occupies a particular locus on a chromosome, and variations in these genes can result in different expressions of the trait. The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is referred to as its genetic map position.
A section of chromosomes that codes for a trait can be called
A genetic locus is the specific location on a chromosome where a particular gene is located. It serves as a unit that determines the expression of a specific trait due to the presence or absence of alleles at that locus.
False. A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome, not the specific part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait.
The gene for this trait is likely located on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and since only males have a Y chromosome, the trait will only be passed down through male lineage.

Gregor Mendel studied seven different traits in pea plants, but these traits were not necessarily found on seven distinct chromosomes. Instead, each trait is controlled by genes located on different chromosomes, and the principles of Mendelian genetics apply to the inheritance of these traits independently of their chromosomal location.

The ear lobe trait is not located on a specific chromosome, as it is a common genetic trait that is not influenced by a single gene or located on a specific chromosome. The presence or absence of ear lobes is determined by multiple genetic factors.
chromosomes contain DNA
It is carried on the X chromosome.
A sex linked trait can only be found on the x chromosome such as hemophilia, color blindness, and muscular dystrophy. These are traits that can only be inherited through chromosomes instead of regular traits coming through genes.
