How many genes are on the human chromosomes?
if i remember right its two sets of 23 chromosomes,
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 do you call the genes that are located on the sex chromosomes?
genes located on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes. In humans, there are two types of sex chromosomes: X and Y chromosomes.Genes located on the X chromosome are called X-linked and genes located on the Y chromosome are called Y-linked chromosomes.
Why it is chromosomes not individual genes that assort independently?
For two genes to assort independently, they must reside on different chromosomes or be located far from each other.
What are genes called that are located on sex chromosomes?
genes located on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes. In humans, there are two types of sex chromosomes: X and Y chromosomes.Genes located on the X chromosome are called X-linked and genes located on the Y chromosome are called Y-linked chromosomes.
What the two copies of chromosomes are called?
Chromosomes are roughly made up of proteins and DNA
Which describes homologous chromosomes in G1?
Homologous chromosomes in G1 phase are two chromosomes, one from each parent, that have similar genetic information but may have different versions of genes (alleles). They have the same genes arranged in the same order along the chromosomes, but they may have different variations of those genes.
What is it called when two chromosomes are very similar and carry the same genes?

What does chromosomes mean-?
A chromosome is a DNA strand, that is comprised of genes. The two sex chromosomes are XX in females and XY in males.
What happens when two chromosomes embrace?
When two chromosomes "embrace," they typically undergo a process called synapsis during meiosis, where homologous chromosomes pair closely together. This allows for genetic recombination or crossing over to occur, leading to the exchange of genetic material between the chromosomes. This process increases genetic diversity in offspring. Following this, the chromosomes will separate into different gametes during subsequent cell divisions.
What is the relationship between alleles and chromosomes?
All chromosomes consist of genes and non coding material. Animals with chromosomes arranged in the double helix pattern have two almost identical genes on the chromosomes opposite from the other. When those two genes in particular are discussed, they are called alleles. Frequently one is expressed and one is not, or one is dominant and the other is not.
How similar are two people with respect to chromosomes genes and alleles?
Two individuals can be highly similar in terms of chromosomes, genes, and alleles if they are closely related, such as siblings. They will share a significant portion of their genetic material due to inheritance. However, unrelated individuals will have more differences in their genetic makeup, with variations in chromosomes, genes, and alleles.
