Which of the following is correct about Homologous Chromosome?
A. They are formed during Meiosis
B. They are held together by centromere
C. They are indentical
D. They carry the same gene loci
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
They carry the same gene loci is correct about Homologous chromosomes.A couple of homologous chromosomes, or homologs, are a set of one maternal and one paternal chromosome that pair up with each other inside a cell during fertilization.
Homologs have the same genes in the same loci where they provide points along each chromosome which enable a pair of chromosomes to align correctly with each other before separating during meiosis.
