Difference between Gene and Y chromosome

Gene vs. Y chromosome

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function. The Y chromosome is one of two sex chromosomes (allosomes) in mammals, including humans, and many other animals.

Similarities between Gene and Y chromosome

Gene and Y chromosome have 28 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allele, Base pair, Cell (biology), Cell division, Centromere, Chromosome, DNA, Gamete, Genetic drift, Genetic recombination, Genetics, Homology (biology), HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee, Human genome, Locus (genetics), Meiosis, Natural selection, Nature (journal), Non-coding DNA, Non-coding RNA, Offspring, Phenotype, Protein, Pseudogene, Sexual reproduction, Sperm, Telomere, Zygosity.

Allele

An allele is a variant form of a given gene.

Base pair

A base pair (bp) is a unit consisting of two nucleobases bound to each other by hydrogen bonds.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Cell division

Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.

Centromere

The centromere is the specialized DNA sequence of a chromosome that links a pair of sister chromatids (a dyad).

Chromosome

A chromosome (from Ancient Greek: χρωμόσωμα, chromosoma, chroma means colour, soma means body) is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Gamete

A gamete (from Ancient Greek γαμετή gamete from gamein "to marry") is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization (conception) in organisms that sexually reproduce.

Genetic drift

Genetic drift (also known as allelic drift or the Sewall Wright effect) is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling of organisms.

Genetic recombination

Genetic recombination (aka genetic reshuffling) is the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent.

Genetics

Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.

Homology (biology)

In biology, homology is the existence of shared ancestry between a pair of structures, or genes, in different taxa.

HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee

The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) is a committee of the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) that sets the standards for human gene nomenclature.

Human genome

The human genome is the complete set of nucleic acid sequences for humans, encoded as DNA within the 23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within individual mitochondria.

Locus (genetics)

A locus (plural loci) in genetics is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker (genetic marker).

Meiosis

Meiosis (from Greek μείωσις, meiosis, which means lessening) is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.

Natural selection

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype.

Nature (journal)

Nature is a British multidisciplinary scientific journal, first published on 4 November 1869.

Non-coding DNA

In genomics and related disciplines, noncoding DNA sequences are components of an organism's DNA that do not encode protein sequences.

Non-coding RNA

A non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is an RNA molecule that is not translated into a protein.

Offspring

In biology, offspring are the young born of living organisms, produced either by a single organism or, in the case of sexual reproduction, two organisms.

Phenotype

A phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest).

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Pseudogene

Pseudogenes are segments of DNA that are related to real genes.

Sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction is a form of reproduction where two morphologically distinct types of specialized reproductive cells called gametes fuse together, involving a female's large ovum (or egg) and a male's smaller sperm.

Gene and Sexual reproduction · Sexual reproduction and Y chromosome · See more »

Sperm

Sperm is the male reproductive cell and is derived from the Greek word (σπέρμα) sperma (meaning "seed").

Gene and Sperm · Sperm and Y chromosome · See more »

Telomere

A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes.

Zygosity

Zygosity is the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism.

Gene and Y chromosome Comparison

Gene has 300 relations, while Y chromosome has 163. As they have in common 28, the Jaccard index is 6.05% = 28 / (300 + 163).
