Chromosomes are strands of DNA, sections of which constitute genes. In other words, genes are tiny, chromosomes are very large.
nucleus → chromosome → gene
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.
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
genome -> chromosome -> DNA -> gene
The term allele is often used interchangeably with the word gene. Allele/gene is used for the variations seen at each gene locus for a trait on the homologous chromosome pair. For example: If there are three alleles for a trait only two of the alleles will be represented in the genotype of any one individual. The alleles for basic blood types A, B and O are examples. In general the term allele is not used interchangeably with gene in conjunction with the terms locus or loci..therefore Gene locus or gene loci but not allele locus or allele loci.
nucleus → chromosome → gene
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
When a gene is linked to a chromosome, it means that the gene is physically located on that chromosome. This means that the gene is inherited along with the chromosome it is located on, and may be inherited together with other nearby genes on the same chromosome.
no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...
The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is called it's locus.
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.
The HBB gene, which codes for the beta globin protein, is located on chromosome 11.
chromosome 1 chromosome 1
It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
