Homologous traits are traits that are determined by a common ancestor. These are similar traits between multiple organisms. For example, hand of a human and the hand of a monkey have similar functions so they would be considered homologous traits.

∙ 14y agoDo you mean homozygous traits?
Homozygous traits are traits that only come in 1 form. They call dogs this: purebred.
The geneticists write in the genetical way:
Say you have a pea plant. There are two forms of the trait for height.
The tall form is TT. (or Tt, but is heterozygous)
The short form is tt.
The difference is that the alleles are dominant and recessive.
Dominant means the Upper Case letter, and shows up in the physical trait.(phenotype)
The recessive means the Lower Case letter, and is masked by the dominant if present.
Hope that helps.

Is a fly homologous?
No. To know if traits are homologous, you need to compare it between things. It is like asking, is the man taller?
Homologous chromosomes are similar in all of these characteristics EXCEPT?
carry the same alleles for all traits
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 are the differences between a synapomorphy and a homologous trait?
A trait shared by at least two and perhaps more taxa and devolving on common ancestry is synapomorphy. A homologous trait is quite similar. The forelimbs of all tetrapods are devolved from common ancestry and would be traits shared by many taxa and homologous traits. Cladists use the word synapomorphy more to show closer relationships. Pliesiomorphy is the word cladists use to show more ancient relationships.
Structures that have similar structure and function but different evolutionary origins are called?
It is either homologous structures or homozygous structures. Embryological structures are when different species of animals look similar in the earliest stage of development and Analogous structures are when animals look different but their function is basically the same. So just look up homologous structures and homozygous structures in your Bio book!!
Why do related species share homologous traits?
Related species have inherited homologous traits from a common ancestor.
What traits did linnaeus consider when classifying organisms?
I think it is the similarities and differences but I could be wrong.
What traits did linnaeus consider when classificing organisms?
homologous traits
Why must biologist be able to distinguish Homologous traits from analogous traits?
because yea

Paired chromosomes with genes for the same traits arranged in the same order?
Homologous Chromosomes
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.

What trails did linnaeus consider when classifying organisms?
homologous traits
Word describing the two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits?
Two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are in the same locations or loci.
What are Autosomal chromosomes that carry corresponding traits and are similar in structure called?
Homologous
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.
