The exceptions to the rule that every chromosome is part of a homologous pair are the gametes. Gametes are eggs and sperm, and each cell has only 23 chromosomes, which form pairs in the zygote after fertilization.

What does a homologous chromosome pair look like?
They are the same size and shape (identical)
What is the differences between bivalent and tetrad?
The bivalents are homologous chromosome containing a total of two chromosomes. On the other hand, tetrad is the homologous pair of chromosomes containing four chromosome.
Why are gametes haploid?
because it contains 1/2 of a complete chromosome
Homologous chromosomes are similar but not identical?
homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs that code for the same features such as eye color or hair color, one chromosome of the pair comes from your mom and one from your dad so no they are not identical
Are tetrad and homologous chromosomes the same?
Homologous chromosome is when a pair of chromosomes containing the same linear gene sequences, each derived from one parent, and a tetrad is formed when 2 homologous chromosomes join together
How many chromosomes are in a homologous pair?
in a homologous chromosome there are two chromosomes ( a chromosome and a sister chromosome)
What is containing one chromosome of each pair of homologous pair?
This would be the haploid condition.
What is the composition of a bivalent at the beginning of prophase 1?
One pair of homologous chromosome
What does a homologous chromosome pair look like?
They are the same size and shape (identical)
When a cell contains only chromosome of each homologous pair the cell is?
Haploid
What do you call the two members of a chromosomes pair?
i think its called a homologous chromosome.
What is the differences between bivalent and tetrad?
The bivalents are homologous chromosome containing a total of two chromosomes. On the other hand, tetrad is the homologous pair of chromosomes containing four chromosome.
When a cell contains only one chromosome of each homologous pair the cell is .?
Haploid
What are pair of similar chromosomes called?
HomologousWe receive one complete set of chromosomes from each parent. This means that for each chromosome, say chromosome 7, there are two copies in every cell of our bodies: the maternal and paternal copies of chromosome 7.The two copies of one chromosome are called a pair of homologous 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.
Why are gametes haploid?
because it contains 1/2 of a complete chromosome
What are the homologous chromosomes and where does the an individual receive homologous chromosomes from?
Two chromosomes are homologous if they have the same genes at the same loci (position). In a homologous pair, there is one chromosome from the mother (maternal) and one from the father (paternal).
