If the body cells in an organism have no homologous pairs of chromosomes, the organism is most likely to be haploid. This condition is typical of organisms that reproduce through asexual means or certain stages in the life cycle of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms. Examples include many fungi and some algae. In such cases, the cells contain a single set of chromosomes rather than pairs.

How many homologous chromosomes in a haploid organism?

There are no homologous chromosomes in a haploid cell, as a haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. One member of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from one set, and the other member comes from the second set, so homologous chromosomes only exist in diploid cells.


What are the cells called that have pairs of homologous chromosomes?

The cells that have pairs of homologous chromosomes are called diploid cells.


Is homologous chromosomes only present in cells that undergo meiosis?

Usually they dont as homologous chromosomes form bivalents with other homologous chromosomes and crossing over occurs between the 2. But if a chiasmata does form between the t homologous chromosomes they can change information.


Are homologous chromosomes different from human lungs?

No they are not. Chromosomes [homologous or (occasionally) not] make Lungs. The Nuclei of Lung Cells also make Chromosomes.


What cell has homologous chromosomes?

A diploid cell has homologous chromosomes. Diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent. The homologous chromosomes have similar genes in the same order, but may have different versions of those genes.


Are homologous chromosomes present in diploid or haploid cells?

Homologous chromosomes are present in diploid cells, which contain two sets of chromosomes (one inherited from each parent). In contrast, haploid cells contain only one set of chromosomes.


Which organism has the most chromosomes in its cells?

The organism with the most chromosomes in its cells is the marbled lungfish, which has 132 chromosomes.


How do differ chromatids differ from homologous chromosomes?

Sister chromatids are identical while homologous chromosomes are merely similar.They are different because they separate the cells and then they become babies but only the homologous chromosomes do.


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.


When do homologous chromosomes separate into the daughter cells?

They are separated in Anaphase I of Meiosis I.


The two copies of each chromosome in body cells are called?

The two copies of each chromosome in body cells are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are similar in size, shape, and genetic content and are inherited from each parent.
