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!!

Describe the ways mutations can affect DNA and chromosomes.​
lozanna [386]
Mutations present permanent and heritable changes in the genome. We distinguish gene and chromosome mutations. Mutations in the level of genes are called point mutations because only one to several nucleotides are changed. These processes are known as deletion, insertion, and substitution. Deletion presents a loss of nucleotides which changes DNA sequence. When new nucleotides are embedded in the DNA chain, it is known as insertion. Substitution implies the process where new nucleotides are inserted while the ones that were present in that specific spot in a DNA molecule are deleted.
Mutations can also appear in chromosomes altering their number and structure. There are four types of mutations - deletion, duplication, inversion, and translocation. In deletion, a whole or one part of a chromosome is lost. Duplication presents an extra copy of a whole or one part of a chromosome. In an inversion, parts of a chromosome change order, while in translocation a part of one chromosome detaches and then connects to another.

Summarize how the functions of organelles in animal cells and plant cells are the same and different.
Alex_Xolod [135]
<span>Plant and animal cells have different structures. One structural difference of plant cells and animal cells is the presence of the plant cell’s </span>cell wall,<span> specialized plastids and a large central vacuole which are not found within animal cells.

Another difference is the garbage disposal of each cell. Centrosomes and lysosomes are found in animal cells but both do not exist within plant cells. The animal cell’s garbage disposal takes place in the lysosome while garbage disposal of plant cells takes place in the vacuole.</span>
