Basically we are all made up from 50% mum and 50% dad. Chromosomes are a condensed version of our DNA; these chromosomes (DNA) contain the genes that tell our body what to do during development and throughout our lives. We have 23 chromosome pairs in total we get one chromosome from the mother and one from the father. The chromosomes are called homologous since each chromosome pair will contain the same genes on it but the genes will not necessarily code for the same thing. For example a chromosome will have the genes for eye color on it and since we have one from the mother and father we will have a pair of chromosomes with the gene with eye color on it. This would be a homologous chromosome pair, however one gene may say blue eyes the other may say brown eyes. The genes are still the same however each color would be a different allele for the gene.

What is a result if a species have homologous chromosomes?
It has pairs of matching chromosomes.
What are the chromosomes that carry the same sets of genes?
Homologous Chromosomes.- for fact.
A sentence that uses homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes have the same sequence as a homologous.
What are homologous chromosomes and what characteristics do 2 homologous chromosomes share?
Homologous chromosomes have the same shape, size and position of the centromere. They have the same genes in the same order.
What are the homologous chromosomes and where does the an individual receive homologous chromosomes from?
Two chromosomes are homologous if they have the same genes at the same loci (position). In a homologous pair, there is one chromosome from the mother (maternal) and one from the father (paternal).
Humans are a diploid species what does this say about their chromosomes?
They have homologous chromosomes
A species has homologous chromosomes. what does this say about the species?
It has pairs of matching chromosomes (APEX)
What is a result if a species have homologous chromosomes?
It has pairs of matching chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does a species have if it contains 10 pairs of homologous chromosomes?
20
What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
What are the chromosomes that carry the same sets of genes?
Homologous Chromosomes.- for fact.
What species other than humans have a haploid number of 23 chromosomes?
Ploidy is another species that has 23 chromosomes. Many organisms have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes.
What are the matching pairs of chromosomes in the diploid cell called?
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
Which type of chromosomes contain the same genes in the same location?
It is Homologous chromosomes because they carry thesame genes and homones.
A sentence that uses homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes have the same sequence as a homologous.
What are the chromosomes that are paired one from each parent called?
they are called homologous chromosomes
Paired chromosomes with genes for the same traits arranged in the same order?
