I've got to describe homologeous chromosomes in terms of the type and # of genes that they possess.
How would I describe that?
-The genes on one of the chromosomes in the pair correspond to the genes on the other chromosome in the pair.
(Have I done this correctly? I'm not sure if I've actually answered this question, thanks a lot 4 all of ur help:-)
I need help with this as well.
I need help finding the chromosome numbers.
The organism is a human. If the Diploid number is 46, then what is the parent, somatic cell, Haploid cell, and Gametes number? Please help me with this one. The others I'll do by myself by following your path on how to do this. Thanks a ton.
Please do not provide any sites. Thanks:-)
Yes, you have provided a correct description of homologous chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes are a pair of chromosomes that are similar in size, shape, and carry the same genes in the same positions along their length. They are also known as homologs or homologs pairs.
Now, let's move on to finding the chromosome numbers for a human organism with a diploid number of 46.
1. Parent cell: The parent cell refers to any cell that is involved in reproduction, so in this case, it would be the sperm or egg cell. The parent cell also has the diploid number of chromosomes, which is 46 in humans.
2. Somatic cell: Somatic cells are any cells in the body that are not involved in reproduction. They are diploid cells, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. Therefore, the somatic cell also has a chromosome number of 46.
3. Haploid cell: Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes compared to the diploid cells. They are involved in the process of sexual reproduction. In human beings, haploid cells are the gametes, which are the sperm and egg cells. Therefore, the haploid cell in humans has a chromosome number of 23.
4. Gametes number: As mentioned earlier, gametes are the sperm and egg cells. Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes compared to the somatic cells, so in humans, the gametes number is also 23.
To summarize, for a human organism with a diploid number of 46:
- The parent cell and somatic cell have a chromosome number of 46.
- The haploid cell (gametes) has a chromosome number of 23.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
