What is the location of the eye color of a fruit fly meaning which chromosome?
The locus for eye color is on the X chromosome.
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 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.
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?
Allele is the term that describes the form of a gene that produces a specific trait such as long feathers or short feathers. Traits are passed in discrete units from parents to there offspring.
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?
It defines location of a gene on a chromosome. Also, it means a genetic susceptibility factor. It is usually a part of a chromosome when disease is analyzed and broke down. Cancer or heart disease.
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
If a chromosome is like a book then a gene is like a what?
a specific sentence
