∙ 6y agoHe will pass this harmful sex-linked gene on to his daughters. Sons will inherit their Y chromosome from their father, not his X chromosome.
The Y chromosome carries the SRY gene (Sex-determining Region Y) which is essential for male sexual development. The SRY gene triggers the development of male sex characteristics during fetal development.
Chromosome 5.The gene is known as TERT (or, in humans, hTERT) and is the most distal gene on the short arm of chromosome 5 (5p). Its location is 5p15.33. For more detail, see the link below.
Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.
A woman carrying a gene for hemophilia can produce hemophilic sons because hemophilia is a recessive genetic disorder located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, so if one carries the hemophilia gene and the other is normal, she is a carrier. When she mates with a normal male who carries a Y chromosome, there is a 25% chance that she will pass on the X chromosome with the hemophilia gene to her son, resulting in him being hemophilic.
When a gene is linked to a chromosome, it means that the gene is physically located on that chromosome. This means that the gene is inherited along with the chromosome it is located on, and may be inherited together with other nearby genes on the same chromosome.

The defective gene in Hurler syndrome is located on chromosome 4. This gene carries instructions for making an enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase, which is essential for breaking down certain complex molecules in the body. When this gene is mutated, the enzyme is deficient, leading to the accumulation of harmful substances in the cells.
False. A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome, not the specific part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait.

no. what you described is a gene. a mutation is a change in the DNA which can sometimes change a gene
A gene is a part of the chromosome what is linked to your DNA it carries the proteins which make you, you! Factors that control traits.
Genes, which are segments of DNA, carry the information that controls traits on a chromosome. Each gene contains the instructions for making specific proteins that determine various characteristics or traits in an organism.

nucleus → chromosome → gene
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
When a gene is linked to a chromosome, it means that the gene is physically located on that chromosome. This means that the gene is inherited along with the chromosome it is located on, and may be inherited together with other nearby genes on the same chromosome.
no, the gene is not actually the chromosome but a part of chormosome...
