The two chromosomes in each matching pair in a karyotype are?

The two chromosomes in each matching pair in a karyotype are homologous chromosomes. These homologous chromosomes carry genes for the same traits at the same loci. One chromosome in the pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father.


What is a pair of corresponding chromosomes called?

A pair of corresponding chromosomes is called homologous chromosomes. They are similar in size and carry genes that control the same traits. One chromosome in the pair is inherited from each parent.


What is the law that states that each pair of chromosomes separates on its own in meiosis?

The law that states that each pair of chromosomes separates on its own in meiosis is known as Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment. This principle states that the inheritance of one trait does not affect the inheritance of another trait, as long as they are located on separate chromosomes. As a result, each pair of homologous chromosomes separates independently during meiosis, leading to genetic variation in the offspring.

On this pair of chromosomes, what alleles are linked?

On this pair of chromosomes, the linked alleles are those that are physically close together and tend to be inherited together.


Which law applies only for genes located on different pairs of chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome pair?

The principle of independent assortment applies to genes located on different pairs of chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome pair. This principle states that genes located on different pairs of chromosomes or very far apart on the same chromosome are more likely to be inherited independently of each other during meiosis.
