A pair of essentially identical chromosomes.
contain identical linear sequences of genes and pair during meiosis. [CUB
Chromosomes containing the same series of genes; they may or may not carry the same alleles. Humans receive one set of 23 paternal chromosomes from their male parent and another set of 23 maternal chromosomes from their female parent. Each set matches up to the other for a total of 23 different pairs of homologous chromosomes. During meiosis, homologous pairs line up and are separated. In males, the X and Y chromosomes act as a homologous pair, although they are only partially homologous.
Two or more identical chromosomes present in a single nucleus.
chromosomes of the same pair containing the same genes but not necessarily the same alleles.
Chromosomes that pair together during the formation of sperm and eggs. Each homologue is a duplicate of one chromosome from each parent.
Chromosomes that occur in pairs one having come from the male parent and the other from the female parent. They pair participate in crossing-over during meiosis. Homologous chromosomes contain the same array of genes but may contain different alleles at those loci.
Chromosomes containing the same linear sequence of genes, one derived from one parent, and the other derived from the other parent.
Pairs of chromosomes that associate together in prophase I of meiosis; each member of a pair is derived from a different parent.
The same chromosome in the two parental chromosome sets. Homologues pair and their genes recombine in meiosis.
(synonym: homologs) The two chromosomes from a particular pair, normally one inherited from the mother and one from the father, containing the same genetic loci in the same order Related Terms: chromosome ; cytogenetics ; hemizygous ; karyotype ; monosomy ; polyploidy ; recombination ; trisomy ; trisomy rescue ; uniparental disomy
chromosomes with identical genetic material
Chromosomes that occur in pairs and are generally similar in size and shape: one comes from the male parent and the other from the female. Such chromosomes contain the same linear array of genes.
chromosomes which carry codes for the same functions (or genes) but may differ with respect to the alleles they carry.
Chromosome pairs within cells which have the same sequence of gene locations (Genes for the same traits). One chromosome of each pair comes from each of the parents through the gametes.
Chromosomes that are identical in their sahpe, size and the content and distribution of their genes (although different alleles may be present at the loci).
Every person has two copies of each chromosome (with the exception of the sex chromosomes): one member of each pair is inherited from the father and the other from the mother. The members of a pair of chromosomes are known as homologous chromosomes or homologues.
in higher plants and animals, chromosomes are found in nearly identical “homologous” pairs, one coming from the sire and the other from the dam. A dog has 39 pairs, or 78 in total. Only one of each, chosen at random, is passed on through eggs or sperm to the progeny.
Chromosome pairs of the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern that posses genes for the same traits at corresponding loci..One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's father , the other from the mother.
chromosomes that pair during meiosis; they contain the same linear sequence of genes, presenting each gene in duplicate
A pair of chromosomes containing the same linear gene sequences, each derived from one parent.
Chromosomes acquired from the male and female parent that come in pairs of similar in shape and size.
The members of a chromosome pair.
pair of chromosomes, one from each parent, that are similar in length, gene position and centromere location. Example: X and Y chromosomes are homologues.
Chromosomes that are paired during meiosis. Such chromosomes are alike with regard to size and also position of the centromere. They also have the same genes, but not necessarily the same alleles, at the same locus or location.
A pair of chromosomes made up of two homologs. Homologous chromosomes have corresponding DNA sequences and come from separate parents; one homolog comes from the mother and the other comes from the father. Homologous chromosomes line up during meiosis.
Chromosomes which pair during meiosis and contain identical loci.
