How are characteristics passed?
characteristics are like traits. traits are within the gene in a cell. And a gene is among the DNA strands in a chromosome. And a chromosome is in the nucleus. and the nucleus is in the cell. And cells are in organisms.
Calico cats are more likely to be?
Calico cats are almost always female. This occurs because the gene that determines color is located in the X chromosome and two X chromosome produce females.
Which of the following is used to construct a gene map A number of generations B litter count C chromosome number D rate of meiosis E recombination rate?
the litter count is used to construct a gene map.
When thomas hunt Morgan crossed his red-eye f1 generation flies with each other the f2 generation included both red and white eyed flies why were all the white-eyed flies male?
The white eyed flies that resulted from the crossing of the red-eye flies were all male as the gene involved was on the X chromosome. The X chromosome is the male chromosome.
What colour kittens will you get if you breed 2 black cats?
ginger, unless some old traits from grandparents come out...i bred a short haired cat with a tom cat and out came a long haired cat ( 3 inches!!!) if i was helpful to you could you please reccommend me and give me a trust point
A unit of inheritance usually at a specific location on a chromosome?
Gene.
What do you call the physical location of a gene?
The specific term is gene locus. If the exact location is known then there is more specific terminology that refers to the chromosome number whether the locus is on the short (p) or long (q) arm of the chromosome and it's specific location based on band and sub-band location.
What is the purpose of genetic mapping?
Genetic mapping is mapping genes to a specific location on a chromosome. therefore the purpose is that it helps to tell where on the chromosome a mutation is. For example if scientists find were on a chromosome a gene for a certain mutation, they can conduct gene therapy to replace it with a normal version of that gene. Basically it just tells scientists the location of a mutation so they can fix it more efficiently.
Where exactly is adrenoleukodystrophy on the x chromosome?
The specific location of the mutation that causes X-ALD is on the ABCD1 gene on the X-chromosome. Please note that there isn't a specific mutation in the ABCD1 gene that causes X-ALD or can be related in any way to the different clinical presentations of the disease.

What shows the relative location of genes on a chromosome?

What type of chromosome always carry gene for the same trait at the same location on both chromosome?
homologous chromosomes
What are pairs called?
A gene pair is called an allele. An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is located on a specific chromosome at a specific place.
What an allele?
An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is found at the same location on a chromosome.
