we call it diploid
Homologous chromosomes do not pair in mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division where a cell duplicates its DNA and splits into two identical daughter cells, so the homologous chromosomes do not need to pair up like they do in meiosis.
During mitosis, homologous chromosomes do not pair up. Instead, they separate and move to opposite ends of the cell. Homologous chromosomes only pair up during meiosis, the process of cell division that produces gametes.
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the process of cell division in a stage called prophase I of meiosis.
A pair of homologous chromosomes can be found within any regular diploid cell. Basically, this is any cell in the human body that is not egg or sperm.
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the stage of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis.
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
Homologous chromosomes line up and pair with each other during the stage of cell division called meiosis.
It depends on if it was during the process of mitosis or mitosis. And, how many chromosomes it began with.
The chromosomes are dividing and becoming new chromosomes.
During prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo crossing over, where segments of DNA are exchanged between them. This does not occur during prophase of mitosis, where homologous chromosomes do not pair up or undergo crossing over.
Yes, homologous chromosomes are present in both mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes do not pair up, while in meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up during prophase I.
At the stage of metaphase, chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell. Homologous chromosomes pair up.
