Word describing the two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits?

Homologous chromosomes carry genes for the same traits at corresponding loci. They are similar in size and shape and are inherited from each parent.


What is found within the nucleus that carries the code that determines the traits of organisms?

Chromosomes (DNA/genes).


Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes containing genes that code?

same traitsthe same traits as each other. Different chromosome pairs code for different traits than other chromosome pairs do though. Only homologous chromosomes (chromosome pairs) code for the same trait as each other.


What is a chemical code that gives information about traits?

That sounds like kind of a description of chromosomes with DNA etc.


What role do chromosomes play in the genetic makeup of monkeys?

Chromosomes are structures in cells that carry genetic information. In monkeys, chromosomes determine traits like fur color, size, and behavior. They contain genes that code for specific traits, influencing the genetic makeup of monkeys.


What do chromosomes carry that determine the organisms traits?

Chromosomes carry genes, which are segments of DNA that code for specific traits or characteristics of an organism. Genes are the instructions for producing proteins, which ultimately determine an organism's physical and biological traits.


What are chromosomes that contain genes which code for the same traits?

Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that contain genes that code for the same traits, one inherited from each parent. These chromosomes carry similar genetic information, such as eye color or hair type, and are crucial for genetic diversity and inheritance in offspring.


Can chromosomes determine what characterisitcs a living thing will have?

Chromosomes contain genetic information that determines an organism's traits. The genes on the chromosomes code for specific proteins which influence an organism's characteristics like eye color, height, and other physical features. However, environmental factors also play a role in how these traits are expressed.


Is genes are larger than chromosomes true or false?

False. Chromosomes are larger than genes. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain many genes, which are segments of DNA that code for specific traits or functions. In essence, chromosomes are made up of DNA, which includes multiple genes along their length.


Explain how the expression of genes on sex chromosomes differs from the expression of genes on autosomal chromosomes?

Autosomes are identical to each other whereas sex chromosomes come in two forms, X and y and code for the sex linked characteristics (and some other traits) and are the 24th pair, determine sex.


How does DNA help with the transfer of genetic material from parents to offspring?

Yes, it does. You get 23 chromosomes from your mother and 23 from your father. These chromosomes contain DNA, which is the code for making genes. Since you get DNA from your parents, you also get genes from them.


Are sections of chromosomes that code for a trait?

Sections of chromosomes that code for a trait are called genes.
