What is the location of the eye color of a fruit fly meaning which chromosome?
The gene for eye color in fruit flies is located on the X chromosome. This gene is called the white gene, and mutations in this gene can lead to different eye colors in fruit flies.
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.
How are characteristics passed?
Characteristics are passed down from parents to offspring through genetic material, such as DNA. Offspring inherit a combination of traits from both parents, resulting in a unique set of characteristics that define the individual. Genes determine specific traits, such as hair color, eye color, and height, which are passed from one generation to the next.
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.
Roosters have genes that determine feather length Which term describes the form of a gene that produces a specific trait such as long feathers or short feathers?
The term that describes the form of a gene that produces a specific trait such as long feathers or short feathers is alleles. Alleles are different forms of a gene that can result in variations of a particular trait, like feather length in roosters.
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.
How are terms gene locus and allele related?
A gene locus refers to the specific position of a gene on a chromosome, while an allele refers to different versions of the same gene that can exist at a particular locus. In other words, a gene locus is the physical location of a gene on a chromosome, while an allele is a specific variant or form of that gene found at that locus.
A locus the location of an allele on a chromosome?
Yes, a locus is the specific physical location of a gene or allele on a chromosome. It is an essential concept in genetics for understanding inheritance patterns and genetic variation. Each gene or allele occupies a specific locus on a chromosome.
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 genes for a certain trait are located?
Genes for a certain trait are located on specific regions of chromosomes. Each gene occupies a particular locus on a chromosome, and variations in these genes can result in different expressions of the trait. The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is referred to as its genetic map position.
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?
Gene map.
What is the most broadest category to most specific category in genetic material in DNA?
genome -> chromosome -> DNA -> gene
What is each member of a gene pool called?
Each member of a gene pool is called an individual or an organism. The gene pool consists of all the different alleles in a population, which are variations of a gene that may occupy a specific location on a chromosome.
What do you mean by chromosomes and genes?
gene is a specific region of chromosome
What if a chromosome is like a book then a gene is like?
a specific sentence
