Matching pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell is called?
Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length,gene position, and centromere location. The position of the genes on each homologous chromosome is the same, however the genes may contain different alleles.A human karyotype shows the complete set of human chromosomes. Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46. Each chromosome pair represents a set of homologous chromosomes. In males, the sex chromosomes X and Y are homologues. In females, both X chromosomes are homologues.
What are pairs of the same chromosomes called?
A pair of chromosomes is called a "chromosome pair."Generally, the two chromosomes in a pair are "homologous chromosomes."An individual form of a gene is called an "allele." (For example: if someone has genotype "Aa", they have two different alleles, "A" and "a")
A human female inherits?
two copies of every gene located on the X chromosome.
In humans an individual inherits one copy of each homologous chromosome from each parent In turn one of each homologous pair goes to a gamete to be passed on Females inherit two X chromosomes and male?
AnswerBoys must inherit the Y chromosome from their father.
How many pairs of homologous chromosomes are found in human body cells?
Human cells have 23 homologous pairs. They also must go through meiosis before that. Females have 2 X chromosomes, while Males have an X and a Y chromosome. That's why the males cells decide the gender of the child.

Where is the color blindness gene found?
It is found on the non homologous part of the X chromosome.

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.
How many chromosome do most human cells contain?
Humans have 22 pairs of homologous non-sex chromosomes (called autosomes), and one pair of sex chromosomes, making a total of 46 chromosomes in a genetically normal human.Each member of a pair is inherited from one of the two parents. In addition to the 22 pairs of homologous autosomes, female humans have a homologous pair of sex chromosomes (two Xs),while males have an X and a Y chromosome.

AnswerBoys must inherit the Y chromosome from their father.
On which chromosome is the human gene known as Factor X located?
The Factor X gene is said to be located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, whereas males only have one. The other chromosome they have is a Y chromosome.
What is an example of Homologous chromosome?
x chromsones/y chromosomes
Does sperm contain x and y chromosome?
In humans the male sperm contains EITHER an X chromosome, or a Y chromosome since human gametes are haploid (n) in chromosome number.

What is x chromosome inactivation in human system?
its not inactive
