What are pair of similar chromosomes called?
HomologousWe receive one complete set of chromosomes from each parent. This means that for each chromosome, say chromosome 7, there are two copies in every cell of our bodies: the maternal and paternal copies of chromosome 7.The two copies of one chromosome are called a pair of homologous chromosomes.
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).
True or false in humans each pair of the 22 maternal autosomes has a homologous paternal chromosome?
False, A haploid organism only has one set of chromosomes, so it has no homologous chromosomes.
Is there a maternal gene?
there are both paternal and maternal chromosomes, which carry maternal/paternal genes.
Can a sperm cell contain maternal chromosomes?
Absolutely (assuming you are referering to the maternal chromosomes of the man who is making the sperm) , the human set of chromosomes is composed of 46 pairs with half (23) coming from each parent. Mendel's laws suggest that each chromosome segregates and separates independently during mitosis (and subsequently meiosis) thus each gamete should contain a mixture of paternally and maternally derived chromosomes.
What are chromosomes with same size and shape?
The chromosomes with the same gene content, size, and shape in diploid organism is called homologous chromosomes. The set of chromosome each came from maternal and paternal chromosome.

Why does genetic deversity result in miosis one?
In prophase I there is a phenomenon known as genetic recombination or crossing over. Similar or homologous chromosomes get together to form a structure known as a tetrad. Two chromosomes (of the four= tetra) are originally from the parental sperm and the other two chromosomes are from the maternal source. Exchanging the DNA from one chromosome to another mixes the genes on these chromosomes so that after crossing over each chromosome is a mixture of maternal and paternal genes.
True or false in humans each pair of the 22 maternal autosomes has a homologous paternal chromosome?
False, A haploid organism only has one set of chromosomes, so it has no homologous chromosomes.
Is there a maternal gene?

What is the difference between a chromatid and a sister chromatid?
Homologous chromosomes is a pair made of a paternal and maternal chromosomes. But sister chromatid is either pairs of paternal or maternal chromosomes
One set of chromosomes from the father?
Chromosomes from the father are called y chromosomes.
How do sister chromatids differ from homolohous chromosomes?
Homologous chromosomes is a pair made of a paternal and maternal chromosomes. But sister chromatid is either pairs of paternal or maternal chromosomes
How can a genetic disorders as Turner syndrome occur?
Going down to the cellular level, it occurs in meiosis when chromosomes fail to separate (nondisjuction). We get a set of chromosomes from our paternal side and the other set from out maternal side. For example, one of the gamete that may have came from our maternal side contains no chromosomes , O, when it should contain that chromosome x while from our paternal side we get a gamete containing the x chromosomes. This results in a XO, a sterile female when the normal sex chromosomes are XX or XY. -or- nondisjunction
How many assortmants of maternal and paternal chromosomes are possible in human gametes?
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes. This means that during meiosis there are 2 varieties of each chromosome to choose from - one paternal and one maternal. The assortment of individual chromosomes occurs independent of the other chromosomes. There are therefore 23 independent selection events, each with 2 options to choose from - so the total number of possible combinations is 223.
