Three ways you can identify pairs of homologous chromosomes?

Biology
1 answer:
diamong [38]3 years ago
6 0

An organism inherits one chromosome of a homologous pair from the maternal parent and the other chromosome from the paternal parent. Although both chromosomes possess the same genes and loci, they may feature different alleles, or versions, of those genes. For example, a maternally inherited chromosome in a pea plant may contain an allele that codes for a green pod, while the allele for a yellow pod may be found at the same location on the paternally inherited homologous chromosome. The differences between alleles of a gene are determined by deviations in their DNA sequences.

A diploid organism possesses two copies of each type of chromosome, with the potential exception of the sex chromosomes, in each of its cells. Humans, for example, have a total of 46 chromosomes in their cells. Human females have two copies of the sex chromosome called the X chromosome, so they have 23 sets of homologous chromosomes. Human males, however, possess one X sex chromosome and one Y sex chromosome, so they have 22 sets of homologous chromosomes, plus two sex chromosomes that are not homologous.

Explain how the structure of the cells that you have studied give evidence if a creator
laila [671]
Hi!

So, assuming that you mean a creator as in a religious deity - we're going to run into problems here.

In order for something to be scientifically validated, it has to be proven scientifically by following the scientific method.

As science is based off the physical world, the things we prove must reflect that. The idea of a deity is something which lies <em>outside </em>the physical realm.

This means that any proof that we do find a 'creator', will simply just be something we now know about the physical world.

We can't have <em>scientific </em>evidence of something which we cannot prove <em>scientifically. </em>

With that said, unless there is context or a piece of information missing, the question is unanswerable.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Variable is the object where the observation will either influence or receive the effect from the other object or variable. Hence, variables divided into two distinct parts in a study or traditionally an experimental study which is the independent variable and the dependent variable. The independent variable is the variable that can stand for itself until it affects the dependent variable, which is the variable that was influenced by the independent variable.

IV: Gender of the alligator
DV: Temperature at which the alligator mother will need to supply.
