Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are two pieces of DNA within a diploid organism which carry the same genes, one from each parental source.

In simpler terms, both of your parents provide a complete genome. Each parent provides the same 23 chromosomes, which encode the same genes. So, our cells carry 46 total chromosomes, in two copies. However, each homologous chromosome can provide a different version of each gene. Two versions of each gene create more variety, lower the detrimental effects of negative mutations, and generally stabilize a population.

I hope it's helpful!!

The distribution of chloroplasts in each algae cell was approximately the same.

The number of bacteria grouped at each wavelength (color) was approximately proportional to the amount of oxygen produced by this part of the algae.

Explanation:

Photosynthetic pigments absorb blue, red and green lights. The wavelength of light that is the most effective in driving photosynthesis is 420 nanometers, which corresponds to blue light.

The wavelength of 475nm and 650nm are most effective in driving photosynthesis.
