There are many more genes than chromosomes. The Human Genome Project currently has identified about 20,000 protein-coding genes, while there are only 46 chromosomes in the human genome.

Are the genes in daughter cells produced by mitoses the same as or different from the genes in the original cell?
No. Because each daughter cells gets a different pair of chromosomes.
What describes corresponding chromosomes?
Corresponding chromosomes refer to a pair of chromosomes in which one chromosome is inherited from the mother and the other from the father. They have the same genes at the same positions, known as loci, but may have different alleles for those genes. Corresponding chromosomes are also known as homologous chromosomes.
What is the relationships between chromosomes and homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes refer to structures with DNA and proteins that contain genetic information. The term "homologous chromosomes" is used to specify that the chromosomes contain the same genes, but have the same or different alleles.
What is a pair of similar chromosomes with the same genes in the same locations?
Homologous pairs of chromosomes carry the same genes. These chromosomes are found in the same loci and contain the same centromere position.
What are different versions of the same gene called?
The chromosomes in a pair carry the same genes in the same places. There are different versions of the same gene. These different versions of the same gene are called alleles.
Two chromosomes in a nucleus that carry genes for the same traits in the same places but specify different versions of the same traits are called?
Homologous Chromosomes.
Is a gene the same thing as a chromosome?
No - genes are sections of DNA found on chromosomes that encode for a functional product (like a protein).Chromosomes are compact structures of DNA and proteins.
Are the genes in daughter cells produced by mitoses the same as or different from the genes in the original cell?
No. Because each daughter cells gets a different pair of chromosomes.
Which type of chromosomes contain the same genes in the same location?
It is Homologous chromosomes because they carry thesame genes and homones.
What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
What describes corresponding chromosomes?
Corresponding chromosomes refer to a pair of chromosomes in which one chromosome is inherited from the mother and the other from the father. They have the same genes at the same positions, known as loci, but may have different alleles for those genes. Corresponding chromosomes are also known as homologous chromosomes.
What are chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure?
Homologous Chromosomes
What are chromosomes that have the same length and carry genes for the same traits?
I believe you are talking about homologous chromosomes- they have the same sequence of genes and same structure.
What is a homologies?
This are chromosomes that have exactly the same length that contain the same gene but those genes have different alleles.
Are genes inherited the same way as chromosomes?
Genes are contained in chromosomes - therefore they are inherited together.
What is the relationships between chromosomes and homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes refer to structures with DNA and proteins that contain genetic information. The term "homologous chromosomes" is used to specify that the chromosomes contain the same genes, but have the same or different alleles.
What do you call chromosomes that have the same length and carry genes for the same trait?
It is Homologous chromosomes because they carry thesame genes and homones.
