What are the differences between homologous chromosomes and chromosomes?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

An Identical chromosome is produced from Mitosis (cell splitting which creates an identical cell). The chromosomes are identical as the chromosome has split in half (each half carrying the same genetic code).

Where as..

Homologous chromosomes are produced by Meiosis (the process which creates sex cells) and 2 chromosomes in a cell (one from mum one from dad) that have mixed codes (identical in each half of the chromosome) that have the same traits.

Answer 3

Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are a member of a chromosomes pair. I believe it's ONE of the 46 you would see on a karytype.

Answer 4

homogeneous is same, example: xx,yy.heterogeneous is different, example: xy.

Answer 5

heterogenous chromosomes are when there is one dominant and one recessive allele, for example Aa. homogenous chromosomes are when both are either dominant or recessive, such as AA or AA

Answer 6

replicate chromosome have same type of allele for a character whereas homologous may have same or different types.

Answer 7

heterozygous chromosomes is for the male and homozygous chromosomes is for female

Answer 8

they carry copies of the same genes.
