What is an example of Homologous chromosome?
An example of homologous chromosomes in humans is the pair of chromosome 1 from each parent. Homologous chromosomes carry similar genes in the same order, although they may have slight variations in the actual DNA sequences.
How did Morgan determine that the eye color in drosophila is an x-linked trait?
Morgan observed that certain eye color traits in Drosophila were inherited differently in males and females. By crossing Drosophila with different eye color phenotypes, he discovered that the gene for eye color is located on the X chromosome. This led to the conclusion that eye color in Drosophila is an X-linked trait.
What unusual result suggested that the eye-color trait is located on the X chromosome?
The unusual result was that in a family, all males had the same eye color as their mothers. This suggested that the gene for eye color is linked to the X chromosome because males inherit their X chromosome from their mothers.
The genes on the x and y chromosomes are called what?
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
How many chromosomes has a human?
Chromosomes contain the DNA of many characteristics that humans may have - gender, hair color, eye color, skin color, etc. Humans have forty-six chromosomes. Chromosomes are often paired together - humans have twenty-three chromosome pairs. 46; 23 from each of my parents. ---- Humans have 22 pairs of somatic chromosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes, for a total of 23 pairs. Female have two X sex chromosomes and males have one X and one Y sex chromosome.
What is a characteristic arising from genes located on chromosomes that are not gender determining?
One example of a characteristic arising from genes located on chromosomes that are not gender determining is eye color. Eye color is determined by multiple genes located on different chromosomes and is not specifically tied to the X or Y chromosomes that determine gender.
5 Explain why there were no white eyed female fruit flies?
The gene for eye color is only carried on the X chromosome. Since females have two X chromosomes and white is recessive, there are no white-eye females.
What is an example of Homologous chromosome?
An example of homologous chromosomes in humans is the pair of chromosome 1 from each parent. Homologous chromosomes carry similar genes in the same order, although they may have slight variations in the actual DNA sequences.
Why are some traits passed from parent to offspring?
Why? Because you can't be just a nothing, you have to have something in common with parents and you can't have a plain face! If you get two x chromosomes you will be a girl but if you get one y chromosome, you end up being a boy. Either way you will have two chromosomes and one of them will be an x.
What alleles cause color blindness?
carried on the X chromosomes
What is the genotype of a white eyed female fruit fly?
The white eyed female fruit fly has two recessive traits for eye color. The genotype would be xx for example.

What color were Malcolm X's eye?
drak blue
How do you get the disease of color blindness?
You do not get color blindness, you are either born with it or not born with it. It is on the X chromosome. A male has one X chromosome. A woman has 2 X chromosomes. If one X chromosome does not have red-green capability and the man has that chromosome, then he is color blind. A woman can have one color blind chromosome and one non-color blind chromosome and she will not be color blind. The ability to see blue and yellow is on chromosome number 7. Everyone has two of those. A man can only have 3 color chromosomes. Women can have 4 color chromosomes. Since the chromosomes can be slightly different, women can frequently see far more color variations than men can see.
What is Amy the hedgehogs eye color?
In sonic x her eyes are green but in comics her eye color was purple,blue,and green
What is the location of the eye color of a fruit fly meaning which chromosome?
The locus for eye color is on the X chromosome.
What does an autosome do in the human body?
An autosome is a non-sex chromosome. It is an ordinarily paired type of chromosome that is the same in both sexes of a species. For example, in humans, there are 22 pairs of autosomes. The X and Y chromosomes are not autosomal. Non-autosomal chromosomes are usually referred to as sex chromosomes, allosomes or heterosomes.
