Are sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes more similar?
Sister chromatids are more similar to each other because they are exact copies of each other formed during DNA replication. Homologous chromosomes, on the other hand, are pairs of chromosomes that contain genes for the same traits, but may have different versions of those genes.
Humans are a diploid species what does this say about their chromosomes?
They have homologous chromosomes
During prophase each pair of chromosomes is attached to each other by the?
During prophase, each pair of chromosomes is attached to each other by structures called homologous chromosomes. These homologous chromosomes have similar genes but could have different alleles.
What phase will homologous chromosomes move away from each other?
Homologous chromosomes move away from each other during anaphase I of meiosis, which is when the spindle fibers pull the homologous chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell. This separation allows each daughter cell to receive a complete set of chromosomes.
Do homologous chromosomes always have identical alleles?
no they don't necessarily have to have the same alleles but they have the same genes. Homozygous chromosomes would have the same allele for a particular gene and heterozygous chromosomes would have different alleles for a particular gene.
Difference between sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes?
Homologous chromosomes are individual chromosomes inherited from each parent. Sister chromatids are the result of DNA replication, and the are identical.
Are sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes more similar?
Sister chromatids are more similar to each other because they are exact copies of each other formed during DNA replication. Homologous chromosomes, on the other hand, are pairs of chromosomes that contain genes for the same traits, but may have different versions of those genes.
Describe and distinguish between replicated chromosomes and homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes usually occur in pairs in body cells. One chromosome in the pair comes from one parent and the other chromosome comes from the other parent. The two chromosomes are the same size and shape and carry the same genes in the same positions. They are called homologous chromosomes. When cells divide the chromosomes first have to copy themselves (ie replicate). Each homologous chromosome makes a replica of itself, and the original and replica are attached to each other at a region called the centromere.
Humans are a diploid species what does this say about their chromosomes?
They have homologous chromosomes
What are chromosomes that appear identical are called?
Chromosomes that appear identical are called homologous chromosomes. They carry the same genes in the same order but may have different versions of those genes (alleles). Homologous chromosomes are inherited, one from each parent, and are important for genetic variation and the process of meiosis.
During prophase each pair of chromosomes is attached to each other by the?
During prophase, each pair of chromosomes is attached to each other by structures called homologous chromosomes. These homologous chromosomes have similar genes but could have different alleles.
Do you agree or disagree that homologous chromosomes are found in gametes?
Have to say Nay. Two chromosomes are 'homologous' , to my understanding, only if each is IDENTICAL with the other - this means a pair. Gametes are haploid, meaning that only one copy of each (normally diploid or paired) chromosome (s) is (are) present.

Does homologous chromosomes attached DNA molecule?
Homologous chromosomes do not physically attach to each other through DNA molecules. They are pairs of chromosomes that contain genes for the same traits at the same locations. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes may align closely with each other, but they are not physically connected by DNA.
How do sister chromatids differ from homolohous chromosomes?
Sister chromatids are exact copies of each other produced during DNA replication in a cell, connected at the centromere. Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that carry the same genes in the same location, but may have different alleles. Sister chromatids are produced in preparation for cell division, while homologous chromosomes are inherited from each parent.
