The chromosomes and genes are actually replicated during?
The chromosomes and genes are replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle in a process called DNA replication. This ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the genetic material during cell division.
What is the cell cycle stage where chromosomes duplicate?
DNA is replicated during interphase, and chromosomes form or condense during the prophase. So the genes and chromosomes are duplicated at the beginning of mitosis, during the interphase, although you can't see them as chromosomes until the prophase, before the cell splits.
Are sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes more similar?
Sister chromatids are more similar to each other because they are exact copies of each other formed during DNA replication. Homologous chromosomes, on the other hand, are pairs of chromosomes that contain genes for the same traits, but may have different versions of those genes.
Describe and distinguish between replicated chromosomes and homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes usually occur in pairs in body cells. One chromosome in the pair comes from one parent and the other chromosome comes from the other parent. The two chromosomes are the same size and shape and carry the same genes in the same positions. They are called homologous chromosomes. When cells divide the chromosomes first have to copy themselves (ie replicate). Each homologous chromosome makes a replica of itself, and the original and replica are attached to each other at a region called the centromere.
What is a pair of replicated homologous chromosomes?
Those chromosomes having pairs of approximately the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, with genes for the same characteristics at corresponding loci are known to be homologous chromosomes. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's mother; the other from the organism's father. They are usually not identical, but carry the same type of information.
Are the chromosomes located in the genes?
No, the genes are in the chromosomes
The law of independent assortment governs chromosomes behavior during mitosis?
Actually, the law of independent assortment applies to the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis, not mitosis. It states that alleles of different genes segregate independently of each other during gamete formation. During mitosis, chromosomes replicate and separate to produce genetically identical daughter cells.
Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
What is bigger chromosomes nucleus genes?
The chromosomes are lot bigger in size than the genes. The genetic material in packed into genes and then genes are expressed or located on the chromosomes. The chromosome and the genes are very important structures in the study of the genetic and must be carefully studied.
How do number of chromosome affects the genes and DNA?
Not at a fundamental level, chromosomes are just the way that genes are clumped together. But on a practical level, chromosomes are what the cells manipulate during growth and (especially) during reproduction.
How are genes aligned on homologous chromosomes?
The genes are aligned between the pole, since it's involving homologous chromosomes, where all characteristics of chromosomes are the same, it kind of makes sense that identical genes would be aligned between the poles.
Are chromosomes found on genes?
Chromosomes contain genes, which are the units of inheritance that carry genetic information. Genes are located on specific locations on chromosomes, known as gene loci. Each chromosome carries hundreds to thousands of genes that determine an individual's traits and characteristics.
