Answer:

Homologous chromosomes are two pieces of DNA within a diploid organism which carry the same genes, one from each parental source. Basically, it's two pieces of DNA from your mom and dad that form who you are.

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!!

Relate the development of plant needles to the occurrence of mutations.
xxMikexx [17]
<h2>Development of Plant Needles</h2>

Explanation:

  • Seed of pitch pine treated with colchicine delivered tetraploid seedlings which had thick and sporadic needles and less fortunate tallness and diameter growth than ordinary seedlings.  
  • In test of colchicine-initiated polyploidy in pines, researcher found that a significant number of the polyploid plants returned to a diploid development in light of the fact that the polyploid cells partitioned at a more slow rate and were overwhelmed by the more quickly developing diploid cells which encompassed them.  
  • The primary needles of both diploid and polyploid plants were more effective at low light intensity than secondary needles, and they had lower compensation points.

strojnjashka [21]
A. Bacteria are single-celled.
I think it would be this because humans have way more than one cell, and the other ones are the same as us.
