homologous chromosome

Describes a cell that has two sets of homologous chromosomes.

This is because in anaphase I the homologous chromosomes are separated.

Thus, it has only one of each pair of homologous chromosomes.

The process of pairing the homologous chromosomes is called synapsis.

In this case a pair of homologous chromosomes fail to separate from one another during meiosis.

These bands were the same in appearance on the homologous chromosomes, thus, identification became easier and more accurate.

The alleles at the same locus on the two homologous chromosomes may be identical or different.

Homologous chromosomes are involved in the process of meiosis in which they cross over.

A bivalent refers to the two homologous chromosomes (4 chromatids).

In diploid (2n) organisms, the genome is composed of homologous chromosomes.

Mitosis also has prophase, but does not do pairing of two homologous chromosomes.

They are diploid, i.e. containing both pairs of homologous chromosomes.

Homologous chromosomes are similar but not identical.

Phasing is the process of identifying the individual complement of homologous chromosomes.

In brief, this technology provides a means whereby the two homologous chromosomes are separated and isolated into separate cell lines.

Each gene is located at a particular place (a locus) on homologous chromosomes, one from each parent.

This process depends on a second homologous chromosome in addition to the damaged chromosome.

A balancer is a region which prevents recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

These chromosomes are referred to as homologous chromosomes.

Both the spores and the resulting gametophyte are haploid, meaning they only have one set of homologous chromosomes.

Bivalents are formed as two homologous chromosomes undergo recombination.

This is because during meiosis the homologous chromosomes from each parent are from different species and cannot successfully pair.

Banding of homologous chromosomes allows chromosome segments and rearrangements to be identified.

Homologous chromosomes are the pairs of chromosomes in a diploid organism.

Homologous chromosomes of a dividing, mitotic cell contain complementary telomeric sequences.
