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.
Traits are determined by pairs of genes called?
The two chromosomes (two "X" shapes) that are in a pair are generally called "homologous chromosomes". A pair of "chromatids" make up the two arms of a single chromosome.
What is the 23rd pair of chromosomes that differ in males and females called?
The 23rd pair of chromosomes that differ in males and females is called the sex chromosomes. In females, the 23rd pair consists of two X chromosomes (XX), while in males, it consists of one X and one Y chromosome (XY).
What is each individual chromosomes called?
Each individual chromosome is called a single linear DNA molecule that contains genes, regulatory elements, and other nucleotide sequences necessary for cell function. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one member of each pair inherited from each parent.
During prophase each pair of chromosomes is attached to each other by the?
During prophase, each pair of chromosomes is attached to each other by structures called homologous chromosomes. These homologous chromosomes have similar genes but could have different alleles.
Is a pair of corresponding chromosomes is homozygous true or false?
The corresponding pair of chromosomes may homozygous as well as heterozygous, depending on the presence of dominant and recessive genes.
What is a homologous chromosone?
A pair of chromosomes that have corresponding gene sequences.
What describes corresponding chromosomes?
Corresponding chromosomes refer to a pair of chromosomes in which one chromosome is inherited from the mother and the other from the father. They have the same genes at the same positions, known as loci, but may have different alleles for those genes. Corresponding chromosomes are also known as homologous chromosomes.
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.
What are Autosomal chromosomes that carry corresponding traits and are similar in structure called?
Homologous
What is one of a pair of chromosomes that are involved in sex determination of an idividual?
One of the pair of chromosomes involved in sex determination is the Y chromosome. In individuals with a Y chromosome, they typically develop as males, while those without a Y chromosome develop as females.
What are xx chromosomes called?
The XX chromosome is female; the XY is male. They represent the 23 pair of human chromosomes
What kind of chromosomes do the body cells of humans have?
All Human Body Cells, also called somatic cells, have 46 chromosomes. These 46 occur is 23 pair. The first 22 pair are called autosomes. The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes, xx for female, xy for male.
Traits are determined by pairs of genes called?
The two chromosomes (two "X" shapes) that are in a pair are generally called "homologous chromosomes". A pair of "chromatids" make up the two arms of a single chromosome.
Is it true that in humans the are 23 pairs of matching homologous chromosomes called autosomes?
No, 22 pairs of chromosomes are autosomes. The last, or 23rd, pair are sex chromosomes.
What is the 23rd pair of chromosomes that differ in males and females called?
The 23rd pair of chromosomes that differ in males and females is called the sex chromosomes. In females, the 23rd pair consists of two X chromosomes (XX), while in males, it consists of one X and one Y chromosome (XY).
What is each individual chromosomes called?
Each individual chromosome is called a single linear DNA molecule that contains genes, regulatory elements, and other nucleotide sequences necessary for cell function. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one member of each pair inherited from each parent.
