What is sister chromatids held together by?
Sister chromatids are held together at a region of highly condensed DNA called the centromere. The centromere region is very important during the process of cell division where chromosomes have to segregate into daughter cells. In addition, chromosomes are classified into different groups based on the position of the centromere
Matching pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell is called?
Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length,gene position, and centromere location. The position of the genes on each homologous chromosome is the same, however the genes may contain different alleles.A human karyotype shows the complete set of human chromosomes. Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46. Each chromosome pair represents a set of homologous chromosomes. In males, the sex chromosomes X and Y are homologues. In females, both X chromosomes are homologues.
How do you arrange chromosomes in a karyotype?
Homologous chromosomes are identified by two main characteristics viz, size and position of the centromere. Homologous chromosomes always have the same size. According to the position of the centromere, they may be acrocentric, metacentric, sub-metacentric and telocentric.
In what ways are homologous chromosomes similar?
They are similar in size shape , position of centromere and genes .Homologous chromosomes are similar in the pattern they are stained, their lengths, and most importantly they have genes of the for a certain characteristics in the same area.
How are karyotypes contructed?
A cell karyotype is produced by looking at chromosomes through a light microscope. A karyotype is produced by factoring in the length of individual chromosomes under the microscope, as well as their banding pattern, position of centromeres, and other physical characteristics.
Two chromosomes that have the same lenght centromere position and staining pattern are called?
homologous chromosomes
Two chromosomes that have the same length centromere position and staining pattern are called?
Homologous Chromosomes

What are homologous chromosomes and what characteristics do 2 homologous chromosomes share?
Homologous chromosomes have the same shape, size and position of the centromere. They have the same genes in the same order.
Homologous pairs of chromosomes are?
Pairs of chromosomes with approximately the same size and centromere position, with the exception of XY pairs. You get one from the maternal side and one from the paternal side.
What is telocentric chromosome?
A metacentric chromosome has two equal arms because the centromere can be found in the median position. A telecontric chromosome, on the other hand, is like a straight rod. Its centromere is in the terminal position.
What is a pair of similar chromosomes with the same genes in the same locations?
Homologous pairs of chromosomes carry the same genes. These chromosomes are found in the same loci and contain the same centromere position.

In females, both X chromosomes are homologues.
What are Telomere?
Chromosomes consist of two arms that extend out from a specialized region of DNA , called Centromere. Centromere or primary constriction gives a particular shape to chromosomes due to its position. The chromosome extremities or terminal regions on either side are called telomeres.
