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!!

Len [333]
The correct answer should be Carrying capacity

Carrying capacity is the the number of people, animals, and other life forms, that an ecosystem can sustain without starting to degrade, and all these upsets can destroy it because it can cause people and animals to migrate somewhere or they can destroy the carrying capacity of the already existing one.
