Please help answer how some traits can be hidden in an individual.

And explain what is meant by homologous chromosomes

Sagot :

  • Some traits are not shown in an individual .They are kept beside others.so some traits can be hidden.
  • Homologous chromosomes mean equal or same chromosomes.These are totally same in shape,size and other functions.

Answer: A pair of chromosomes that contain the same gene sequences, each derived from one parent.

Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs, one from each parent. Alike in height, gene location, and centromere position.

Homologous chromosomes are alike but not the same. Each bears the same genes in the same order, but the alleles for each trait may not be the same. Homologous chromosomes are two sister chromatids stuck commonly with cohesions forming a tetrad. They have the same genes, but not necessarily as alleles that can carry hair color, one with brown the other with a blonde. So, homologous chromosomes share the same gene.
