Human males' genes are more similar to the genes of human females than those of males of other species. Humans have 46 chromosomes; other species have other numbers of chromosomes.

Are human males genes closer to other non human males then woman humans are?

Human male and female genes are more similar to each other than male-human and male-nonhuman genesWITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE Y CHROMOSOME.The Y chromosomes of male humans and the Y chromosome of male primates are more similar to each other than the Y chromosome of human males and the corresponding X chromosome of human females.I don't know how far this disparity extends but it MAY be true for the whole of the mammals.


Do all the nucleotides in human DNA belong to genes?

No - genes are the parts of DNA that code for a functional product (such as a protein). There are other parts of the DNA which are not genes.


How many genes are there in an average human?

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. 22 pairs are homologous (basically same shape) and the last pair is known as the X and Y sex-determining chromosomes. You were correct that 23 come from mom and the other 23 from dad. With regard to the question about genes, scientists finished sequencing the human genome in 2003. They found that the genome contained only 20,000-25,000 genes. You can read more about it if you search for human genome project on the net.

How does the distance between two genes or a gene and a centromere affect crossover frequencies?

The closer two genes or a gene and a centromere are to each other on a chromosome, the less likely they are to undergo crossover events during meiosis. This is because there is less opportunity for crossing over to occur between closely linked loci. In contrast, genes located further apart are more likely to experience crossing over as there is a higher chance of exchange between the genetic markers.


What genes don't occur in pairs?

Genes on the X and Y chromosomes, which determine sex in humans, do not occur in pairs. These are called sex-linked genes, with males having one X and one Y chromosome and females having two X chromosomes. This results in differences in gene dosage between males and females for genes on the sex chromosomes.

What three ways are human traits controlled?

Human traits are controlled by a combination of genetic factors (inherited from parents), environmental factors (such as diet and lifestyle), and epigenetic factors (changes in gene expression without changes in the underlying DNA sequence). These factors interact in complex ways to influence the development and expression of human traits.


How is DNA different from human to other human?

Humans are typically 99.9% alike to one another, but some genes like the hair color or the eye color are different.


Genes are called units of?

Genes are part of every human body. They are the subunits of DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Each gene is specifically coded for a different task. Some genes are coded for eye color, while other genes are coded for how short or tall a person may be,


Why do human males have Y chromosomes?

No, males of all species do not have Y chromosomes. Some species use other chromosomes for sex determination. Some birds and insects use a ZW chromosome system for sex determination, for example. There are also species whose sex is environmentally determined. For example, the sex of some reptiles is determined by the temperature at which their eggs are incubated.


Does Each cell in a human contain a different set of genes?

No, every cell in a human contains the same set of genes. However, not all genes are expressed in each cell, which leads to cell differentiation and specialization. This controlled gene expression is what allows different cell types to perform specific functions.
