Question

Describe the arrangement of genes on a pair of chromosomes

Answer 1

Genes are organized linearly on chromosomes and their arrangement determines how they are inherited. Genes that are close together on the same chromosome are likely to be inherited together, but crossing over during meiosis can separate them. Genes located on nonhomologous chromosomes can be recombined in various ways due to independent assortment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Genes are organized linearly on chromosomes like beads on a string. The arrangement of genes on a pair of chromosomes determines how they are inherited. If the genes are located close together on the same chromosome, they are likely to be inherited together. However, crossing over during meiosis can separate the genes and cause them to be inherited independently of each other. On the other hand, if the genes are located on nonhomologous chromosomes, they may be recombined in various ways because of independent assortment.

Answer 2

The genes are arranged in lined up manner in the pair of chromosome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chromosome are build up by the very long strands of DNA having many genes. In particular sequence, genes are being arranged in the chromosome, every genes have their own location on the chromosome, which is known as locus. Chromosomes are DNA strands which are tightly bounded together so that it can fit in the cell, but genes are the DNA sequences. Hence, we can say the chromosomes are being lined up by the genes.
