THEIR COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Discuss the concepts of homologous chromosomes,
diploidy, and haploidy. What characteristics do two
homologous chromosomes share?
Homologous chromosomes are similar, but not identical.
One comes from mom and one from dad. They carry
genes for the same inherited characteristic, may of which
carry different versions of the same gene. Two
homologous chromosomes share position of the
centromere, type/location of genes, and length/shape.
Diploidy- means that both members of a homologous pair
are present(2n). Haploidy- presence of a single copy of
each homologous chromosome(n).

mitosis.
