In a human karyotype, there are 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). If we choose one pair, such as pair 11, what do the two chromosomes of the pair have in common?

Respuesta :

The common features include length, centromere position and staining patterns. Moreover, the same phenotypic traits are coded for by the genes of both homo-logous chromosomes.

What are homo-logous chromosomes?

Homo-logous chromosomes are chromosomes in the cell of an individual that contain the same or nearly identical nucleotide sequences.

Humans have diploid cells, which means that our somatic (body) cells contain two complete sets of homo-logous chromosomes.

Homo-logous chromosomes exhibit very similar characteristics in a karyotype simply due to sequence homo-logy.
