Homologous chromosomes is terms of the number of genes and the type of genes they have?

Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes (one from the female and one from the male), each of which contains genes which correspond to the genes on the other chromosome in the pair. For example, if a chromosome contains a gene for eye color, the corresponding chromosome will also have a gene for eye color in the same place.

∙ 13y agoThe criteria used to determine two chromosomes as homologous is by 3 key factors. Size, Banding pattern, and the centromer position.

Which statements best describe the relationship between the terms chromosomes genes and nuclei?
Chromosomes: Contains genetic information that controls traits DNA: Self replication material present in nearly all living organisms Nucleus: The"control room" for the cell tells it what to do Relationship: The nucleus is the main components for the cell inside the nucleus are chromosomes inside the chromosomes are DNA on the DNA there are parts of it witch are Genes hoped i helped :)
Why do the chromosomes in a homologous pair differ from one another?
They have the same length and gene locus but differ in terms of alleles. An allele is a form of a gene, differing from other alleles of the gene by a few bases at most and occupying the same locus as the other alleles of that gene. The gene locus is the position of a gene on a chromosome. Hope that helped! They have the same length and gene locus but differ in terms of alleles.

Terms in genetics?
The link below will help you get started with this question. There are many terms:
What is an explanation of what independent assortment means?
With assortment in meiosis the daughter cells from Meiosis I split into four sister cells. Then the sister cells can re-combine with the genes from the other parent, therefore the final daughter cells have different possible genetic combinations. The result is in other words, and simple terms, variation.
How do you write the definition of homologous chromosome using the terms gene and allele?
Same root
Chromosomes of a pair of homologous chromosomes may differ from other chromosomes in terms of?
the genes they carry.
What terms is used to describe pairs of chromosomes having DNA segments or genes for the same traits?
Hobnobs
Why can't the terms gene and chromosome be used interchangeably?
Chromosomes are strands of DNA, sections of which constitute genes. In other words, genes are tiny, chromosomes are very large.
How are the terms genes locus and allele?
1. A gene is a piece of DNA that provides a set of instructions to a cell to make a certain protein, a locus is a specific position on a pair of homologous chromosomes, and a allele is any of the alternative forms of a gene that may occur at a specific locus.
How are the terms genes locus and allele related?

How does genes effect the whole organism?
The genes affect the whole organism because your genes are in your DNA and in every cell there is 23 pairs of chromosomes so you are what you are from your genes and DNA. Genes code for the proteins in your cells. Your proteins do nearly everything in your cells. Therefore the genes you have determine how you function at a cellular level. In terms of chromosomes, they are your DNA wrapped very tightly around protein clusters called histones.
What is homologous and non-homologous end joining in DNA repair?
This terms is used in any transplant, autologous, homologous and etc.

What is homologous?
The similarity in-between different species and different phylogenetic groups that shows which ones are more closely related based on their amount of traits in common example/ similarities between chimps and humans compared to the similarity between humans and a fish. This also covers similarity in genes and you could even say that different non-living things like TVs have homology.
What is an explanation of what independent assortment means?
With assortment in meiosis the daughter cells from Meiosis I split into four sister cells. Then the sister cells can re-combine with the genes from the other parent, therefore the final daughter cells have different possible genetic combinations. The result is in other words, and simple terms, variation.
