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 are microscopic bodies that carry the genes that convey hereditary characteristics called?
The microcopic bodies that carry genes are called autosomes. A person has 22 pairs of autosomes.
A dogs phenotype can be determined by?
In sexual reproduction, traits are determined by the alleles of an individual's genes inherited from their parent's cells after it has undergone meiosis. The alleles of the parents are randomly selected depending on the chromosomes of the sperm and ova which connect. The 24 pairs of resulting chromosomes in a new individual's cells (half from both parents) determine their traits as each chromosome with DNA and gene segments have traits. Whether the traits show up are resulting to the dominance of the alleles from the inherited chromosomes.
When two or more genes work together to produce a single trait is called what?
HETEROZYGOUS It is polygenic inheritance in terms of genetics. Many quantitative traits such as length, body weight and blood groups etc are governed by a group of genes.
How many genes are found on each of your chromosomes?
Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), chromosomes are long strands of genes, and since the chromosomes come in pairs, so do the genes. There are 25,000 genes in the entire human genome, and since the haploid chromosome number is 23, there are about 100's of genes on the shorter chromosomes and approximately thousands on the longer chromsomes.
How many total base pairs are in all the mammalian genes?
3,000,000,000,
What terms is used to describe pairs of chromosomes having DNA segments or genes for the same traits?
Hobnobs
What is inheritance determined by the interaction of two or more pairs of genes?
Polygenic inheritance.
What is Gregor Mendel's concept of unit character?
Inherited traits controlled by factors(genes) which occur in pairs : ) machuff15
What are the genes called in gene pairs?
incomplete dominance
Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes containing genes that code?
same traitsthe same traits as each other. Different chromosome pairs code for different traits than other chromosome pairs do though. Only homologous chromosomes (chromosome pairs) code for the same trait as each other.
In sexual reproduction a line of genes on a DNA chain from a mother is paired with a matching chain from the father In a baby that develops from the two gene contributors the pairs of traits on its?
"In sexual reproduction, a line of genes on a DNA chain from a mother is paired with a matahing chain from the fater In a baby that develops from the two gene contributors, the pairs of traits on its DNA will?" the answer is: result from recombining traits from the mother and father
A different form of a gene?
genotypes

What are 3 principals of gentics?
six basic principles of genetics are....Traits, or characteristics, are passed on from one generation of organisms to the next generationThe traits of an organism are controlled by genesOrganisms inherit genes in pairs, one gene from each parentSome genes are dominant, whereas other genes are recessiveDominant genes hide recessive genes when both are inherited by an organismSome genes are neither dominant nor recessive. These genes show incomplete dominancesource: i got this from my textbook.....and im in 7th grade. the txtbook is called Prentice Hall Exploring Life Science

Organisms inherit genes in pairs?
YES!
