What are the chromosomes that are paired one from each parent called?

The chromosomes that are paired, one from each parent, are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes carry genes for the same traits and are similar in size and shape. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material through crossing over.


What are found on chromosomes and control traits?

Genes are found on chromosomes and they control traits by providing instructions for the production of proteins which determine various characteristics in an organism. Each gene carries specific information that influences an individual's physical and biological traits.


Word describing the two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits?

Homologous chromosomes carry genes for the same traits at corresponding loci. They are similar in size and shape and are inherited from each parent.


Difference between chromosomes and genes?

Chromosomes are structures that contain genes, which are the functional units of heredity. Genes are specific segments of DNA that encode information for producing proteins, while chromosomes are made up of DNA and protein and contain many genes. Chromosomes are organized in pairs in a cell's nucleus, while genes are the specific units on chromosomes responsible for inherited traits.


What is the relationship between alleles and chromosomes?

All chromosomes consist of genes and non coding material. Animals with chromosomes arranged in the double helix pattern have two almost identical genes on the chromosomes opposite from the other. When those two genes in particular are discussed, they are called alleles. Frequently one is expressed and one is not, or one is dominant and the other is not.

Which describes homologous chromosomes in G1?

Homologous chromosomes in G1 phase are two chromosomes, one from each parent, that have similar genetic information but may have different versions of genes (alleles). They have the same genes arranged in the same order along the chromosomes, but they may have different variations of those genes.

How are genes organized in organisms?

Genes are organized in organisms on structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes contain long strands of DNA that are made up of genes. Genes are arranged in a linear fashion along the length of chromosomes, with each gene encoding specific instructions for producing proteins or controlling various traits in the organism.
