Passage I

Diploid human cells contain 46 chromosomes. Genes residing on the same chromosome are linked. Figure 1 shows the location of the some genes in humans.

Figure 1 adapted from Susan Offner, "Human Chromosomes." @1992 by Susan Offner.

Table 1 lists the biological process associated with some of the genes in Figure 1.

Table 2 lists 7 genetic diseases, the chromosome associated with each disease, and the mode of inheritance for each disease.
