Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs. They are<span> alike each other in size and centromere position. The position of the genes on each chromosome is the same, but the genes do not necessarily have the same alleles within.

Answer:

Chromosomes are found in pairs

Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs similar in lenght, gene positioning and centromere location but non-identical. They are donated by each parent (make and female). They are non-identical in the sense that the alleles on each pair may be different. For example, the chromosome donated by a female pea plant may contain a yellow allele for a particular gene while that donated by the male pea plant may contain a green allele.

A karyotype (a pictorial display of chromosomal arrangement) shows that in a diploid organism like humans, chromosomes are in two complete sets. Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes in which every chromosome pair represents a set of homologous chromosomes.

In each pair of chromosome, one chromosome is contributed by the male parent while the other by the female parent. In total, each parent contributes 23 chromosomes via gametes to form a total of 23pairs or 46chromosomes.

Name the type of connective tissue that anchors the ribs onto the sternum.
Kazeer [188]

Hyaline cartilage makes up the costal cartilage that holds the ribs to the sternum. The most prevalent form of cartilage in the body is hyaline cartilage.

<h3>What is hyaline cartilage?</h3>

On the articulating surfaces of bones, in the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, as well as on the sternal ends of the ribs, hyaline cartilage is present. It imparts a rigid yet malleable form to the constructions.

Hyaline structures are connective tissues that anchor the ribs onto the sternum. Such structures and joints are robust because collagen fibers are present, but their mobility and flexibility are constrained. To reduce friction and provide cushioning at the joint surface, articular cartilage, also known as hyaline cartilage, covers the ends of bones.
