The cell's nuclear genome is contained within the genes that are located inside of the chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread like structures and are located inside of the nucleus in animal and plant cells.

∙ 15y agoGenes are small strands of genetic information found in Chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of thousands of genes, compressed into tightly coiled strands that form the chromosome. Chromosomes are just huge blocks of genes. A single chromosome can carry thousands of genes. Genes and chromosomes are basically one in the same.

Genes are coiled together and stored as chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell
Therefore a chromosome is a huge number of genes grouped together for storage and reproducing purposes.

What are homologous chromosomes and what characteristics do 2 homologous chromosomes share?
Homologous chromosomes have the same shape, size and position of the centromere. They have the same genes in the same order.
Chromosomes that contain genes for characteristics not related to sex?
Autosomes
Found on chromosomes they determine specific characteristics of the orgsmism?
Genes determine the specific characteristics of an organism.
The transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring by means of the genes in the chromosomes of cells?
heredity
What role do genes play in a cell?
genes makeup DNA which makes up chromosomes which are in the center of the cell they give your characteristics
What are homologous chromosomes and what characteristics do 2 homologous chromosomes share?
Homologous chromosomes have the same shape, size and position of the centromere. They have the same genes in the same order.
What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
What is found on chromosomes that determines specific characteristics of the organism?
Genes.
What structures in chromosomes control inherited characteristics?
Genes or locus.
Chromosomes that contain genes for characteristics not related to sex?
Autosomes
Found on chromosomes they determine specific characteristics of the orgsmism?
Genes determine the specific characteristics of an organism.
How are genes aligned on homologous chromosomes?
The genes are aligned between the pole, since it's involving homologous chromosomes, where all characteristics of chromosomes are the same, it kind of makes sense that identical genes would be aligned between the poles.
Found on chromosomes they determine specific characteristics of the organism?
Genes are found on chromosomes and they determine specific characteristics of the organism. They are hereditary and are transferred from the parent to the offspring.
How the nucleus chromosomes and genes affect the development and characteristics of the whole organism?
the chromsomes
The transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring by means of the genes in the chromosomes of cells?
heredity
What role do genes play in a cell?
genes makeup DNA which makes up chromosomes which are in the center of the cell they give your characteristics
What is a characteristics arising from genes located on gender-determining chromosomes?
sex-linked trait
