The weaker of two genes is called what?
The weaker of two genes is called the recessive gene. In the presence of a dominant gene, the recessive gene is not expressed in the organism's phenotype.
Each parent donates a set of instructions called what to their offsprings?
The set of instructions for each characteristic passed from parent to offspring is called "genes", which are made up of complex molecules of DNA.
A gene that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele is called?
A recessive gene. These genes are masked by dominant genes when they are present together in an individual's genetic makeup.
Traits determined by recessive genes located on the x chromosomes are said to be?
Some traits are determined by recessive genes on the X chromosomes. Many times these are genetic disorders and are called recessive genes.
How do inherited genes make a tiger cub closely resemble its parents?
Every living thing on this planet has genes. What genes mainly do is tell your body how to build itself. They are like a construction plan. The genes go on from generation to generation. The father's genes go together with the mother's genes and the result is something that is like the parents. Basically, the cub closely resembles its parents just like you resemble your parents.
Is DNA is tightly packaged into structures called genes?
DNA is tightly packaged into structures called chromosomes, which contain genes. Genes are specific sequences of DNA that carry the instructions for making proteins, which in turn determine the traits of an organism. Each chromosome in a cell contains many genes lined up along its length.
How are the genes lined up in a pair of chromosomes?
Genes are located along the length of chromosomes, which are organized into pairs in most cells. Each chromosome pair contains genes at specific locations called loci. The order of genes along a chromosome is known as the gene sequence.
What Mendel called factors are today called genes?
GENES
What are the small segments of DNA that control protein formation called?
The small segments of DNA that control protein formation are called genes. Genes contain the instructions for making proteins and are located along the DNA molecule in the cell. They determine the characteristics and functions of an organism by directing the synthesis of specific proteins.
Different forms of genes are called?
different form of genes are called allele
What are the genes carries on the x and y chromosomes called?
The genes carried on the X chromosome are called X-linked genes, while the genes carried on the Y chromosome are called Y-linked genes. These genes play a role in determining various traits and characteristics in individuals.
What is a short section of DNA called?
Genes
A quality that a person was born with is called .?
Nature, Natural Or traits and genes
What are genes that are located on one sex chromosome but not the other called?
Genes that are located on one sex chromosome but not the other are called sex-linked genes.
What is a combination of two genes together called?
The genes an organism contains is called the organism's genotype.
What are traits that are shaped by many genes called?
Traits that are shaped by many genes are called polygenic traits.
Are genes located on the autosomal called sex linked genes?
No, genes located on autosomes are not considered sex-linked genes. Sex-linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes (X and Y) and usually show different inheritance patterns in males and females. Autosomes contain genes that are inherited equally by both sexes.
