Similarity bewtween characteristics and traits because if a shared ancestory. Link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homologous_structure Body parts that are similar in structure and function in different animals
What else can I help you with?
What is the definition of homologous?
Homologous means similar to but not the same thing, as a squirrel's foreleg is homologous to a human's arm.
Are mosquitoes and horsefly homologous or analogous?
Homologous means that there is a body part that has the same makeup of a body part of a different organism. Therefore, mosquitos and horseflies have mouth parts that are homologous.
What term means having homologous pairs of chromosomes?
diploid
What does it means to have homologous chromosomes?
the gene's alleles are found in matched chromosome pairs
Does the word homologous means something about human?
The word homologous is not derived from the Latin word homo meaning man. It is derived from a Greek word meaning same. So homologous implies something that is consistent throughout, or to many things that are the same.
Why are homologous pairs called tetrads?
Homologous pairs are called tetrads because these pairs are maid up of a four-part structure. Tetrad literally means a group of four.
Humans are a diploid species what does this say about their chromosomes?
They have homologous chromosomes
Body parts similar in origin and structure are what?
homologous
If a species has a homologous chromosome?
If a species has homologous chromosomes, it means that each chromosome in a pair has a corresponding partner with similar structure and gene content. One chromosome of each pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father. These homologous chromosomes may carry different alleles for certain genes, which can contribute to genetic variation within the species. This arrangement is essential for processes like meiosis, where homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic information.
How would you use homologous structure in a sentence?
I learned about homologous and heterozygous structures in Biology.
How many possible homologous chromosome alignments are there?
There are 2n possible homologous chromosome alignments, where n is the number of homologous pairs of chromosomes.
What is a result if a species have homologous chromosomes?
If a species has homologous chromosomes, it means that they have pairs of chromosomes with similar genes in the same order. This can facilitate genetic diversity through processes like crossing over during meiosis. Homologous chromosomes are essential for genetic variation and proper segregation of genetic material during cell division.
