What are homologous choromosomes?

Answer 1

Homologous chromosomes are pairs of each other. They are chromosomes that are identical to each other except for a few variations. Everybody has one from their mom and dad. Everybody has 46 chromosomes, but in reality it is less confusing to say "we have 23 pairs of chromosomes."

Answer 2

Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that carry the same genes, one from the mother and one from the father. They are similar in size and shape and contain genes for the same traits, but may have different versions of those genes (alleles). During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through a process called genetic recombination.

Answer 3

Each homologous pair is the same size and shape as it's partner

Answer 4

This are chromosomes that have exactly the same length that contain the same gene but those genes have different alleles.

Answer 5

There huge chromosomes there like a tomato or you could say an apple as well but not those small apples

Answer 6

homologous chromosomes are chromosomes where both alleles are the same, either both dominant or both recessive.

Answer 7

Each of the homologous pair are inherited from the same parent.
