The term that describes organisms having chromosomes that are exactly the same is "homozygous." In a homozygous organism, both alleles for a specific gene are identical, whether they are dominant or recessive. This genetic uniformity can affect traits and characteristics passed down through generations.
What else can I help you with?
What is a group of individual organisms that have exactly the same set of genes called?
clone- group of indivdual organisms that have exactly the same genes
What characteristic determines whether organisms belong to the same species?
The number of chromosomes. For example, humans have 46.
Do asexual organisms have homologous chromosomes?
Asexual organisms can have homologous chromosomes, particularly if they are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes—one from each parent. In such organisms, homologous chromosomes carry the same genes, though they may have different alleles. Asexual reproduction, such as binary fission or budding, typically involves the replication of genetic material before cell division, but the presence of homologous chromosomes is dependent on the organism's genetic structure. In contrast, haploid organisms, which have only one set of chromosomes, do not possess homologous chromosomes.
Do all sexually-reproducing organisms have the same sex chromosomes as human?
No, not all sexually-reproducing organisms have the same sex chromosomes as humans. Humans possess a XY sex-determination system, where males have XY chromosomes and females have XX chromosomes. Other organisms can have different systems; for example, birds typically have a ZW system, where males are ZZ and females are ZW, while some reptiles and fish may have varied systems. The diversity in sex chromosomes reflects the evolutionary adaptations of different species.
How does the prefix homo- relate to the definition of homologous chromosomes?
Homo is a Latin word root that means man, or human.When it is used as a prefix, as in "homosexual," it comes from the Greek word homos, meaning the same.Homologous chromosomes are a pair of chromosomes that have the same gene sequences and are paired during meiosis.
What is a group of individual organisms that have exactly the same set of genes called?
clone- group of indivdual organisms that have exactly the same genes
What characteristic determines whether organisms belong to the same species?
The number of chromosomes. For example, humans have 46.
If two organisms have the same full set number of chromosomes are the always members of the same species?
Not necessarily. While many members of the same species may have the same number of chromosomes, it does not guarantee that two organisms with the same number of chromosomes are of the same species. Chromosome number is just one characteristic used to define species, but other factors like genetic makeup, morphology, and ability to reproduce with one another are also important in determining species classification.
What is a homologies?
This are chromosomes that have exactly the same length that contain the same gene but those genes have different alleles.
Do Different Eukaryote organisms have different amount of Chromosomes?
Yes, different eukaryotic organisms can have different numbers of chromosomes. For example, humans have 46 chromosomes, while corn plants have 20 chromosomes. The number of chromosomes can vary widely among eukaryotic species.
Do organisms respond to the environment in exactly the same ways?
Not all organisms respond to the environment in exactly the same way. Snakes in a desert thrive while bears cannot for example.
Do asexual organisms have homologous chromosomes?
Asexual organisms can have homologous chromosomes, particularly if they are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes—one from each parent. In such organisms, homologous chromosomes carry the same genes, though they may have different alleles. Asexual reproduction, such as binary fission or budding, typically involves the replication of genetic material before cell division, but the presence of homologous chromosomes is dependent on the organism's genetic structure. In contrast, haploid organisms, which have only one set of chromosomes, do not possess homologous chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does each new cell contain(After mitosis) if the original cell had 52 chromosomes?
52 - mitosis produces daughter cells with exactly the same chromosomes of the original cell.
How many chromosomes do body cells of organisms have in relationship to the sex cells of the same organism?
Body cells typically have a diploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, or gametes, have a haploid number of chromosomes, meaning they have one set of chromosomes. This allows for the correct number of chromosomes to be restored upon fertilization.
Why is it important that sex cells have exactly the number of chromosomes as the body cells?
The DO NOT "have exactly the number of chromosomes as the body cells", they have 1/2 that number. This is so that when two sex cells come together to form an embryo, the cells of that embryo have exactly the same number of chromosomes as the body cells of the two parents and not twice that number.
Do all sexually-reproducing organisms have the same sex chromosomes as human?
No, not all sexually-reproducing organisms have the same sex chromosomes as humans. Humans possess a XY sex-determination system, where males have XY chromosomes and females have XX chromosomes. Other organisms can have different systems; for example, birds typically have a ZW system, where males are ZZ and females are ZW, while some reptiles and fish may have varied systems. The diversity in sex chromosomes reflects the evolutionary adaptations of different species.
Ture or false all organisms have the same number of chromosomes?
False. Different species have different numbers of chromosomes. For example, humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), while dogs have 78 chromosomes (39 pairs).
