  • The statement that alleles on homologous chromosomes determine traits, correctly describes the mechanism of inheritance.
  • Homologous chromosomes are defined as a pair of chromosomes which have the genes arranged on them in the same order however the alleles may be different.
  • The chromosome pair of homologous chromosomes is formed because a diploid organism has one paternal and one maternal chromosome, and when these 2 chromosomes pair together we get a homoglous chromosmes.
  • The variants of a particular gene present on the chromosome are known as alleles.
  • The combination of the alleles transferred from the parents to the offspring is responsible for the inheritance of traits.

What would happen to<br> offspring if crossing over did<br> not occur?
Dovator [93]

Answer: If crossing over did not occur during meiosis, there would be less genetic variation within a species. ... Also the species could die out due to disease and any immunity gained will die with the individual. Two types of gametes are possible when following genes on the same chromosomes. If crossing over does not occur, the products are parental gametes. If crossing over occurs, the products are recombinant gametes.
