A Y-linked gene is a gene that is carried on the Y chromosome, a sex chromosome found only in male cells. In humans, the most commonly mentioned Y-linked gene encodes a protein called testis-determining factor (TDF). As the name suggests, TDF prompts the development of the testes. Since only genetic males have a Y chromosome, only males express TDF and go on to develop testes.
In general, genes carried on the sex chromosomes (X and Y) are considered to be "linked" to that chromosome. Genes carried on the X chromosome are considered X-linked in the same way that TDF is considered Y-linked.

Which best describes how scientists found the hunan gene that makes insulin?
Scientists found the human gene that makes insulin by using recombinant DNA technology to clone and sequence the gene. They identified the gene by comparing it to the insulin genes of other species and then inserting the human gene into bacteria to produce insulin for medical use.
Can you get Lupus if you have the Lupus Gene?
There is no lupus gene. At this point, researchers have found 30 loci (locations) on the human genome that are implicated in the development of lupus.
What is the name given to a project that found the location of each gene on all chromosomes?

What is it ment by the term human gene pool?
The human gene pool is all the genetic material of all human beings.
Which best describes how scientistists found the human gene that makes insulin?
Scientists used recombinant DNA technology to isolate the human gene responsible for producing insulin. This involved identifying the gene sequence in bacteria or yeast cells, which could then produce human insulin. By cloning and studying the gene, researchers were able to determine its function and create synthetic insulin for medical use.

What is the average gene length in a typical human genome?
The average gene length in a typical human genome is about 27,000 base pairs.
What chromosome is muscular dystrophy found on?
The gene is on the short (p) arm of the X chromosome. The gene is known as the dystrophin gene, or simply DMD. It is the longest gene known in the human genome, and codes for the protein dystrophin. According to Aminoff, 2005; the point mutation causing Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is exhibited on the Xp21 gene, belonging to the above stated chromosome.
