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.
The 3 characteristics are Metacentric (centromere is centrally located so that the arms of the chromosome are of approx equal length), Submetacentric (centromere is located not quite in the center of the chromosome, so that the arms are of different length), and Acrocentric (centromere is located much closer to one end of the chromosome than the other, resulting in arms that are very unequal in length).
Hope this helped!!

chromosomes are the carriers of genetic information they are constant in number in all body cells according to the species (humans,and differs between animals themselves) there number is 46 in humans organized in pairs (23 pairs) the first 22 pairs are called autosomes and the last pair is the gonosomes which indicate the gender of the person if it is XX it is a female but is it is XY it is a male.The X chromosome can carry a genetic data but Y cant.The ova and sperm are the only body cells that have 23 chromosemes in single so that after their union there'll be a complete number of chromosomes.Maybe when you see the answer you'll regret that u asked it :P
Chromosomes are arranged and numbered by size, from largest to smallest. A karyotype is a helpful way of seeing the characteristics of the chromosomes.
a. How would the karyotype change if the person had Turner Syndrome?
A karyotype is defined as the chromosomes of a cell. The human karyotype has one pair of sex chromosomes and 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes.
A karyotype is a visual display of the chromosomes arrangeed by size, shape, and banding pattern.
Karyotype
Characteristics. Also, another difference between karyotype and karyogram is that while karyotype describes the number and appearance of chromosomes and includes their length, banding pattern, and centromere position, karyogram contains chromosomes arranged in an appropriate order.Jul
There are 46 chromosomes in a human Karyotype.
A karyotype.
Humans have thousands of different genes arranged on 23 pairs of chromosomes. These are arranged from largest to smallest on a karyotype. Uh, hi I read your answer, and I think you misspelled a word. -anonymous.
A karyotype is defined as the chromosomes of a cell. The human karyotype has one pair of sex chromosomes and 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes.
A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in a person's cells. A human has 46 chromosomes in all but sex cells.
A karyotype is an organized arrangement of a person's chromosomes. In a karyotype, chromosomes are sorted and numbered by size, from largest to smallest.
A karyotype is a visual display of the chromosomes arrangeed by size, shape, and banding pattern.
There are a total of 4 rows in a karyotype chart.
Karyotype
A karyotype is made by staining and arranging chromosomes so that they can be viewed microscopically.

A picture of chromosomes is called a "karyotype."
