Can natural selection act upon body shape?
Yes, that would be called the Homologous structure, and that changes in natural selection.
What Organs that are so reduced in size that they are just vestiges of homologous organs in other species are called?
Vestigial Organs
What is a chromosome called with matching information?
Chromosome pairs that contain matching information are called "homologous".
The two copies of each chromosome in body cells are called?
Homologous pairs.
Structures that have similar structure and function but different evolutionary origins are called?
It is either homologous structures or homozygous structures. Embryological structures are when different species of animals look similar in the earliest stage of development and Analogous structures are when animals look different but their function is basically the same. So just look up homologous structures and homozygous structures in your Bio book!!
Is a human appendix a homologous structure?
The human appendix (a small sac near the junction of the small and large intestine) is homologous to a structure called the "caecum", a large, blind chamber in which leaves and grasses are digested in many other mammals.http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=3246
What are Autosomal chromosomes that carry corresponding traits and are similar in structure called?
Homologous
Why are homologous pairs called tetrads?
Homologous pairs are called tetrads because these pairs are maid up of a four-part structure. Tetrad literally means a group of four.
Anatomical structures that appear to be derived from a functional structure in an ancestor but that currently do not serve an important function are called?
homologous structures
Can natural selection act upon body shape?
Yes, that would be called the Homologous structure, and that changes in natural selection.
What Organs that are so reduced in size that they are just vestiges of homologous organs in other species are called?
Vestigial Organs
The same basic array of bones are modified to give rise to the wing of a bat and the fin of a porpoise such anatomical structure are called?
homologous
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).
What are the chromosomes that are paired one from each parent called?
they are called homologous chromosomes
Do animals have the same sort of skeleton?
Not all animals have the same skeletal structure. Whales have bones in their "flippers" that resemble the same bones that make up the human "arm". This is called a homologous structure.
What is a chromosome called with matching information?
Chromosome pairs that contain matching information are called "homologous".
What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
