Heterologous Expression systems are tools to find out whether a particular gene produces mRNA and/or protein and whether the protein produced is functional or defective. In these systems, we use the expression vectors in which cDNA of the gene of interest is clonned along with suitable promoter. When this gene is expressed through transcription by the formation of mRNA, then the resultant protein is formed by translation of mRNA.
Homologous chromosomes
Homologous chromosomes.
Gametes are said to have homologous chromosomes, if they have same genes arranged in same order. During gamete formation meiosis precedes, therefore, individual gamete does not have its homologous counterpart. After fertilization, in diploid nucleus, homologous chromosomes are restored.
Homologous end joining is a type of DNA repair where the broken DNA strands are accurately repaired using an undamaged homologous sequence as a template, ensuring that no genetic information is lost. On the other hand, non-homologous end joining is a more error-prone DNA repair mechanism that directly rejoins the broken DNA ends without the need for a homologous template, often resulting in the loss or insertion of nucleotides at the repair site.
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).
homologous pair
The phenotype that is a combination of traits from both homologous parents is called the composite phenotype. It results from the interaction of different alleles inherited from each parent. This can lead to a unique expression of characteristics not seen in either parent.
The allele that is fully expressed when carried by only one of a pair of homologous chromosomes is called a dominant allele. Dominant alleles mask the expression of recessive alleles when present in the genotype.
Homologous means similar to but not the same thing, as a squirrel's foreleg is homologous to a human's arm.

I learned about homologous and heterozygous structures in Biology.
There are 2n possible homologous chromosome alignments, where n is the number of homologous pairs of chromosomes.

Yes, sex chromosomes are homologous in humans.
