What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
What is the pairing of homologous chromosomes called?
The pairing of homologous chromosomes during prophase 1 is called crossing over. The chromosomes make a copy of themselves. The 4 cells can now twist together and exchange pieces.
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
Humans are a diploid species what does this say about their chromosomes?
They have homologous chromosomes
How would you know if 2 chromosomes were homologous pairs?
Therefore when two chromosomes of the exact structure exist, they are able to pair together to form homologous chromosomes

What are the chromosomes that carry the same sets of genes?
Homologous Chromosomes.- for fact.
What stage in meiosis do homologous chromosomes come together?
During meiosis, the homologous chromosomes come together during prophase I. Pairs of homologous chromosomes align during a process called synapsis and form a tetrad (four sister chromatids, two from each pair of homologous chromosomes). During synapsis, crossing over may occur, during which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material.
What are the matching pairs of chromosomes in the diploid cell called?
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
Which type of chromosomes contain the same genes in the same location?
It is Homologous chromosomes because they carry thesame genes and homones.
A sentence that uses homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes have the same sequence as a homologous.
What is the name when homologous chromosomes sometimes stick together but do not separate properly?
Nondisjunction
What are the chromosomes that are paired one from each parent called?
they are called homologous chromosomes
