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.

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).
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 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
Does meiosis have variation?
During meiosis, genetic recombination of homologous chromosomes occurs. So meiosis does result in genetic variation. After prophase I, during which crossing over occurs, every chromosome will have some maternal DNA and some paternal DNA.
Is there a maternal gene?
there are both paternal and maternal chromosomes, which carry maternal/paternal genes.

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).
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.
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 are homologous different?
Homologous chromosomes are a set of chromosome pairs, one set maternal and the other paternal, that pair up during meiosis, the production of reproductive cells. The pairs have the same genes in the same locations, though once spread out the different pairs segregate out. the biggest way that these chromosomes change up is by exchanging lengths of the material.
What is difference between maternal and paternal?
"Maternal" is of or pertaining to the mother, "paternal" is of or pertaining to the father.
How do you make a sentence with maternal and paternal?
Maternal refers to your mother and paternal to your father. My maternal grandmother lives in Scotland, but my paternal grandmother lives just down the street.
What's the difference between maternal and paternal?
Paternal is related to the father while maternal is related to the mother. Example: Your maternal parent is your mother and your paternal parent is your father.
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.
