What is the composition of a bivalent at the beginning of prophase 1?
A bivalent at the beginning of prophase I is composed of two homologous chromosomes that have already replicated into sister chromatids. Each homologous chromosome consists of two sister chromatids joined by a centromere. The bivalent forms as the homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo synapsis.
What are the 2 copies of each chromosome in somatic cells that are not replicating called?
The two copies of each chromosome in somatic cells that are not replicating are called homologous chromosomes. Each homologous pair consists of one chromosome inherited from the mother and one from the father. These chromosomes carry similar genes, but may have different alleles. In diploid organisms, somatic cells typically contain two sets of homologous chromosomes.
What are The two sets of chromosome that come from the female parent and the male parent?
The two sets of chromosomes that come from the female parent are the two X chromosomes, while the two sets from the male parent are one X and one Y chromosome. This combination determines the genetic sex of the offspring, with XX resulting in a female and XY resulting in a male.
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.
Describe and distinguish between replicated chromosomes and homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes usually occur in pairs in body cells. One chromosome in the pair comes from one parent and the other chromosome comes from the other parent. The two chromosomes are the same size and shape and carry the same genes in the same positions. They are called homologous chromosomes. When cells divide the chromosomes first have to copy themselves (ie replicate). Each homologous chromosome makes a replica of itself, and the original and replica are attached to each other at a region called the centromere.
How many chromosomes are in a homologous pair?
in a homologous chromosome there are two chromosomes ( a chromosome and a sister chromosome)
What are the two strands of a chromosome called?
The two identical strands of a chromosome are called chromatids. DNA replication occurs in the interphase stage of the cell cycle.

In diploid organisms, somatic cells typically contain two sets of homologous chromosomes.
A homologous pair is composed of two?
A homologous pair is composed of two chromosomes that have similar genes in the same order. These chromosomes are one from the mother and one from the father and are similar in size and shape. Homologous pairs line up during meiosis for genetic recombination.
What are The two sets of chromosome that come from the female parent and the male parent?
The two sets of chromosomes that come from the female parent are the two X chromosomes, while the two sets from the male parent are one X and one Y chromosome. This combination determines the genetic sex of the offspring, with XX resulting in a female and XY resulting in a male.

What two identical bodies make up a duplicated chromosome?
Somatic cell chromosome is made of two identical chromatids
How many homologous chromosomes do males have?
Males have 44 homologous chromosomes, or 22 pairs. Females are 46 and 23 respectively since they have homologous sex chromosomes.

What do you call the two members of a chromosomes pair?
i think its called a homologous chromosome.
What are the homologous chromosomes and where does the an individual receive homologous chromosomes from?
Two chromosomes are homologous if they have the same genes at the same loci (position). In a homologous pair, there is one chromosome from the mother (maternal) and one from the father (paternal).
