I guess if you reasoned it out, the answer would be plain and simple:\n\nA cell couldn't be due to the fact that a gene is found inside a cell.\n\nA chromosome neither, due tot he fact that a gene is part of a chromosome.\n\nA trait first of all is not a genetic material, but the expression of the gene.\n\nAn obviously the only answer which remains is DNA.\n\nnucleotide + sugar + phosphate group ->  Nucleic acid -> make a DNA strand -> which make up a gene -> which is found in a chromosome -> which are found in the nucleus.

Note the answers on 2, 3, 5 and 7 ... that's where we all differ.\n\n1) organic compounds\n2) oxygen or respiration (the question is not clear)\n3) molecular basis for genetics (not chromosomes ... some DNA is outside the chromosomes ... and there's no RNA in chromosomes)\n4) condensation\n5) lobster (ask anyone from Maine)\n6) freezing or solidification\n7) weight (not mass ... mass is the amount of gravity exerted *by* the object, not acting *on* it.  I.e. mass is independent of the gravity acting on it ... since the more gravity experienced, the more it weighs, weight is more correct). \n8) boiling or vaporization (or if you're in England, vapourisation)

Linked genes are inherited together because they are close together on the same chromosome, and thus are less likely to be separated by recombination.  Recombination refers to a process where chromosomes cross over each other and exchange DNA.  So if 2 genes are spread apart on a chromosome, they are more likely to be separated by recombination, and thus less likely to be inherited together.

Alterations to DNA are called mutations, and they can result in the formation of new characteristics that are heritable, or capable of being inherited.\n\nEvery cell in the body of every living organism contains DNA in threadlike structures called chromosomes. Stretches of DNA that hold coded instructions for the manufacture of specific proteins are known as genes, of which the human race has approximately 40,000 varieties. If the DNA of a particular gene is altered, that gene may become defective, and the protein for which it codes also may be missing or defective. Just one missing or abnormal protein can have an enormous effect on the entire body: albinism, for instance, is the result of one missing protein.\n\nMutations also can be errors in all or part of a chromosome. Humans normally have 23 pairs of chromosomes, and an extra chromosome can have a tremendous negative impact. For example, there should be two of chromosome 21, as with all other chromosomes, but if there are three, the result is Down syndrome. People with Down syndrome have a unique physical appearance and are developmentally disabled. Nor is an extra chromosome the only chromosomal abnormality that causes problems: if chromosomes 9 and 22 exchange materials, a phenomenon known as translocation, the result can be a certain type of leukemia. Down syndrome also results from translocation.\n\nGerminal mutations are those that occur in the egg or sperm cells and therefore can be passed on to the organism's offspring. Somatic mutations are those that happen in cells other than the sex cells, and they cannot be transmitted to the next generation. This is an important distinction to keep in mind in terms of both the causes and the effects of mutation. If only the somatic cells of the organism are affected, the mutation will not appear in the next generation; on the other hand, if a germinal mutation is involved, what was once an abnormality may become so common in certain populations that it emerges as the norm.\nEvery single human trait—blue eyes, red hair, cystic fibrosis, a second toe longer than the big toe, and so on—is the result of some genetic mutation somewhere back down the line. Traits that are shared by all people must have arisen long ago, while other traits occur only in certain populations of people. Traits may be as innocuous as eye color or hair texture or as grave as a shared tendency toward a particular disease. Cystic fibrosis, for instance, is most common in people of northern European descent, while sickle cell anemia (see Amino Acids) occurs frequently in those of African and Mediterranean ancestry. A fatal disorder known as Tay-Sachs is found primarily in Jewish people whose ancestors came from Eastern Europe. In many cases, the particular mutation, while harmful in one regard, proved to be a useful one for that population. We know, for example, that while two copies of the mutant sickle cell anemia gene cause illness, one copy confers resistance to malaria—a very useful trait to people living in the tropics, where malaria is common.\n\nThe Pima "fat-Storage Mutation."\n\nResearchers have noted a high incidence of obesity among the Pima, a Native American tribe whose ancestral homeland is along the Gila and Salt rivers in Arizona. The Pima tend to eat a diet that is no more fatty than that of the average American—which, of course, means that it is plenty fatty, complete with chips, bologna, ice cream, and all the other high-calorie, low-nutrient foods that most Americans consume. But whereas the average American is over-weight, the average Pima is more dramatically so. This suggests that long ago, when the ancestors of the Pima had to face repeated periods of famine in the dry lands of the American Southwest, survival favored the individual or individuals who had a mutation for fat storage. It so happens that today, there is more than enough food at the local supermarket, but by now the Pima as a group has the fat-stora

the genes that are present in a chromosome codes for a protein which  are usually known as enzymes.these enzymes r produced from gene by transcription and translation .transcription is the process in which the dna is transcribed into rna by rna polymerase enzyme .this rna then undergoes translation in the cytoplasm of the cell and produces the enzymes .these enzyme acts in a sequence on the substrate and produces the final product\neg: catabolism of glucose(glycolysis)-glucose breakdown occurs by nearly ten steps involes the participation of nearly 10 enzymes to produce the   final product pyruvic acid

Alleles are different 'forms' of the same gene.\n\nFor example, there are three alleles of the gene for blood groups; alleles A, B and O.\n\nIn diploid organisms like ourselves we have two complete sets of genes, so there are various combinations of alleles. One allele is inherited from the mother and one from the father.\nAA - blood group A\nAO - blood group A (because A is dominant to O)\nBB - group B\nBO - group B (B dominant to O)\nAB - group AB (alleles are codominant - equal dominance)\nOO - group O\n\nGeneologically, we can follow the inheritance of various characteristics (determined by alleles) and similarly blood groups can be used to eliminate or confirm parentage.\n\nThe 'classic' geneological example is the family tree of Queen Victoria of Great Britain. This follows the inheritance of the sex-linked gene for haemophilia.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions specifying the biological development of all cellular forms of life (and most viruses). DNA is a long polymer of nucleotides and encodes the sequence of the amino acid residues in proteins using the genetic code, a triplet code of nucleotides.\n\nIn complex cells (eukaryotes), such as those from plants, animals, fungi and protists, most of the DNA is located in the cell nucleus. By contrast, in simpler cells called prokaryotes (the eubacteria and archaea), DNA is not separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear envelope. The cellular organelles known as chloroplasts and mitochondria also carry DNA.\n\nDNA is important because it is the molecule of heredity as it is responsible for the genetic propagation of most inherited traits. These traits can range from hair colour to disease susceptibility. During cell division, DNA is replicated and can be transmitted to offspring during reproduction. Lineage studies can be done based on the facts that the DNA in mitochondria (mitochondrial DNA) only comes from the mother, and the male "Y" chromosome only comes from the father.\n\nIt looks like an helix.

Short answer:\n\nYour genes are a combination of both of your parents genes, and they constitute a full set.  Through meiosis however, a process which creates sperm and egg cells, the cells divide in such a way as to halve their genetic "info".  These halves are carried by the sperm and egg cells, and recombined into a single, new whole through fertilization.

Maybe you could try to be abit more specific, but genes are information MADE of DNA, so "where" is an odd question to ask... \nMaybe you are referring to the difference between euchromatin (hypomethylated and decondensed) and heterochromatin (highly methylated and condensed) ...? If that´s the case, genes are definitely in euchromatin. That´s why heterochromatin is called "silent" DNA.

The answer is A, translation.\n\n\nDuring translation, the messenger RNA copies information from DNA to produce proteins. The information gets read by  ribosomes which facilitate the production of proteins.

26\n\nIn meiosis, the chromosome pairs are divided in half so the new cell has 1 of each.  This is because this is used to produce cells for reproduction.\n\nWhen 2 of these cells come together,they create 52 chromosomes again to create a new organism with half of each parents genetic material.
