Which homologous chromosome pair in humans is the only one that is not identical?

The only homologous chromosome pair in humans that is not identical is the sex chromosomes, specifically the X and Y chromosomes.


Why is the 23rd pair of chromosomes not always homologous?

The 23rd pair of chromosomes are the sex chromosomes. In female humans, both sex chromosomes are homologous, and characterized as XX. In male humans, one sex chromosome is an X chromosome and the other is a much smaller, nonhomologous Y chromosome, and is characterized as XY.


Which best describes chromosomes in humans?

Humans have 22 pairs of homologous non-sex chromosomes (called autosomes), and one pair of sex chromosomes, making a total of 46 chromosomes in a genetically normal human.Each member of a pair is inherited from one of the two parents. In addition to the 22 pairs of homologous autosomes, female humans have a homologous pair of sex chromosomes (two Xs), while males have an X and a Y chromosome.

No, 22 pairs of chromosomes are autosomes. The last, or 23rd, pair are sex chromosomes.


How many homologous pairs of chromosomes does a diploid human cell have?

A human gamete does not have any pairs of homologous chromosomes. A single human gamete contains 23 chromosomes, or a half set. None of these chromosomes are homologous with each other.


Humans are a diploid species what does this say about their chromosomes?

They have homologous chromosomes


What is a display of homologous pairs and sex chromosomes?

A display of homologous pairs and sex chromosomes is typically represented in a karyotype, which is a systematic arrangement of an organism's chromosomes. In a karyotype, chromosomes are paired based on their size, shape, and banding patterns, with homologous pairs showing similar characteristics. The sex chromosomes, which determine the biological sex of an organism, are usually represented as X and Y chromosomes in humans, with females having two X chromosomes (XX) and males having one X and one Y chromosome (XY). This visual representation aids in identifying chromosomal abnormalities and understanding genetic traits.
