Homologous
Homologous: pair of chromosomes that are the same Homozygous: alleles of a gene pair are the same
Homologous is the word used to describe matching chromosomes, with a homolog being a pair of homologous chromosomes.
sex chromosomes
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).
Two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are in the same locations or loci.
There are no homologous chromosomes in a haploid cell, as a haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. One member of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from one set, and the other member comes from the second set, so homologous chromosomes only exist in diploid cells.
homologous pair
we call it diploid
No, only in meiosis
two chromosomes that have the same length and same apperence.
