you need one chromosome from one parent and one from the other parent. These homologous pairs each have the same genes but different alleles. For instance, one may code for black hair while the other codes for brown hair. You need both to be present in order to have both the parents traits.

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.


What do homologus chromosomes do?

Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes containing genes for the same traits at the same locations, one inherited from each parent. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate and recombine to create genetic diversity in offspring. They help ensure that the proper number of chromosomes is passed on to the next generation.


What is the Disjunction of homologous chromosomes to the opposite poles?

During anaphase, the centrosomes (which have moved to opposite poles of the cell) release microtubules from their centrioles which then pull the chromosomes towards them, the double stranded chromosomes then split at the centromere and thus each pole of the chromosome has a copy of every chromosome. I assume you're talking about meiotic division though and in this case the spindle fibres/ microtubules dont split the chromosomes in half, rather, the chromosomes line up in homologous pairs (instead of in single file) and the spindle fibres pull one of the entire homologous double stranded chromosomes to its designated pole.


How many chromosomes does a bat in a haploid cells?

How many chromosomes are in each corn gamete?

some people dont know how many chromosomes are in corn plants. corn plants have 20 chromosomes humans have 46 and fruit flies have 4 pairs double the four pairs and then ur fruit flie has the total of 8 chromosomes

How many homologous chromosomes interact with each other or dont during mitosis and meiosis?

In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1. In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1.

Do homologous chromosomes always have identical alleles?

no they don't necessarily have to have the same alleles but they have the same genes. Homozygous chromosomes would have the same allele for a particular gene and heterozygous chromosomes would have different alleles for a particular gene.


How many cells do rabbits have?

There are 22 different chromosome pairs existing in each cell of the rabbit except the sex cells and red blood cells. Each chromosome pair controls different functions.

When are cells haploid but the chromosomes are still in the duplicated state?

my college bio proffessor told me that even though chromosomes are still in the duplicated state, the chromosomes are duplicated so technically they do have "23" chromosomes but they instead have 2 sets of it. these 2 sets are the same so they dont count as a "full" set of 46 chromosomes. :) hope this helps!!


When do the homologous chromosomes form tetrads?

Bivalents or Tetrad of homologous chromosomes consisting of four synapsed chromatids that become visible during the Pachytene stage of meiotic prophase or A four-part structure that forms during the prophase of meiosis and consists of two homologous chromosomes, each composed of two sister chromatids.
