What do you call chromosome that look alike and carry genes for the same trait?
Chromosomes that look alike and carry genes for the same trait are called homologous chromosomes. The nucleus contains these chromosomes.
In als what chromosome is affected?
In ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the chromosome primarily affected is chromosome 9. A gene called C9orf72 located on this chromosome is linked to a significant percentage of familial ALS cases. Other genetic mutations on different chromosomes can also contribute to ALS development.
How many chromosomes did Homo neanderthal have?
I am willing to bet it's 48, unlike 46, which humans have.
All apes have 48 chromosomes, including chimps, gorillas, orangutans, australopithecines, early homos (erectus, neanderthals etc).
Humans have 46 chromosomes and are unique among apes because humans (homo sapiens) are only 150 - 200.000 years old (according to mitochondrial DNA) and were created using genetic engineering by an advanced human-like race that visited Earth in the distant past.
The advanced beings used their own DNA and the DNA of apes such as neanderthals to create us so that we would be inferior version of them (aliens) which were better adapted to this planet than they were.
They were also the ones to teach us civilization and we owe our knowledge and advancement to them!
Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
What is labeled the sex chromosome?
Sex chromosomes are called allosomes and in humans they are called the XY (male) or XX (female) pair.
Meiosis
it compares by 50% or by half of chromosomes because there are 23 sex cells and 46 chromosomes
Why are there 23 pairs of chromosomes and not 3 individuals chromosomes?
All of the information contained in the 23 pairs can't be contained in just 3 chromosomes. Most information would be left out, and then the organism would become a different animal or be seriously mutated, or not even be alive.
in the center. The next phase is anaphase
What does an x and y chromosome identify?
In the cytological terminology x and y chromosomes are identified as sex chromosomes. In human being these chromosomes are responsible for determination of sex in the offspring.
What is X - chromosome inactivation?
Sex cells have either one X or one Y chromosome. Male offspring have XY and female offspring have XX. In the case of two X's, one is inactivated. This a random act in the cells' early development.
It can be seen easily in cats as their coat color genes are found on the X chromosome. In female cats, one X may have the gene for black and the other may have the gene for red. When this is expressed, a mixture of red and black is seen. This color pattern is called a tortoiseshell. These cats are almost always female.
The male will be either black or red. The colors can also be dilute (blue and cream) with the same pattern. Males that have an extra X chromosome can show the same pattern as females.
it is easier to cut and past photographs and compare :)
Why are extra X chromosomes in females not considered a problem?
Not a problem from a reproductive standpoint or from a morphological standpoint but those with the XXX or with XXX mosaic syndrome who have intellectual developmental issues may beg to differ. Issues are not nearly as profound for XXX trisomy as for their XXY male counterparts. The effects of trisomy can vary considerably from person to person.
Each human eggs has 46 chromosomes and the sperm has no chromosomes?
Each human egg actually contains 23 chromosomes, not 46. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, it brings another 23 chromosomes, resulting in the total of 46 chromosomes in a fertilized egg, which then develops into a human being.
What are the individual threads that form a chromosome?
Individual threads that form chromosomes are chromatin.
How many chromosomes does a surf perch have?
A surf perch typically has 24 chromosomes, which is common for most fish species. These chromosomes are found in the cells of the surf perch's body and contain the genetic material necessary for growth, development, and reproduction.
What are the monomers of nucleic acids called?
The monomers of nucleic acids are called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three components: a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine in DNA, and uracil replaces thymine in RNA).
