1. how do homologous chromosomes differ from sister chromatids?
245181
Homologous chromosomes are the two chromosomes that make a chromosome pair. ... This means that at the gene level, each of the homologous pair could be carrying different alleles. On the other hand, sister chromatids are the exact duplicates and arise by duplication when the chromosomes undergo mitosis.

Homologous Chromosomes. In diploid (2n) organisms, the genome is composed of homologous chromosomes. ... Homologous chromosomes are similiar but not identical. Each carries the same genes in the same order, but the alleles for each trait may not be the same.
406997
Homologous chromosomes are basically two similar chromosomes inherited from father and mother. They are homologous because they have the same genes, though not same alleles. During meiosis, the homologous chromosomes pair up during first prophase. When they do so, the homologous pair becomes known as a bivalent.

What is a major difference between mitosis and meiosis I in a diploid organism? Sister chromatids separate in mitosis, while homologous pairs of chromosomes separate in meiosis I. ... haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids.

The two sister chromatids are separated from each other into two different cells during mitosis or during the second division of meiosis. Compare sister chromatids to homologous chromosomes, which are the two different copies of a chromosome that diploid organisms (like humans) inherit, one from each parent.
783870
The main difference between homologous and non-homologous chromosomes is that homologous chromosomes consist of alleles of the same type of genes in the same loci whereas non-homologous chromosomes consist of alleles of different types of genes.
411739
In Metaphase 1, paired homologous chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell. However, in mitosis and Metaphase 2, it is sister chromatids that line up along the equator of the cell.
869041
Homologous chromosomes are 99% identical. ... Homologous chromosomes may contain different alleles of a gene. 6. The physical location of a gene on the chromosome is called its allele.
896428
A chromatid is one-half of two identical copies of a replicated chromosome. ... Joined chromatids are known as sister chromatids. Once the joined sister chromatids separate from one another in anaphase of mitosis, each is known as a daughter chromosome. Chromatids are formed from chromatin fibers.
89871
The primary difference is that in meiosis II only one member of each homolog pair is present, whereas in mitosis both are. During anaphase II, the third step of meiosis II, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and move toward opposite poles.
12052
Homologous chromosomes do not function the same in mitosis as they do in meiosis. ... Instead, the replicants, or sister chromatids, will line up along the metaphase plate and then separate in the same way as meiosis II - by being pulled apart at their centromeres by nuclear mitotic spindles.
674305
Although both are very similar, the difference between the two is the pairing. Homologous chromosomes are basically two similar chromosomes inherited from father and mother. They are homologous because they have the same genes, though not same alleles. ... When they do so, the homologous pair becomes known as a bivalent.
259303
Homologous and non-homologous chromosomes are the two types chromosomes identified based on the pairing pattern of chromosomes during the metaphase 1 of meiosis. Homologous chromosomes refer to the chromosomes in the same pair while non-homologous chromosomes refer to the chromosomes in different pairs.
1146068
Anaphase I: Homologues separate to opposite ends of the cell. Sister chromatids stay together. Telophase I: Newly forming cells are haploid, n = 2. Each chromosome still has two sister chromatids, but the chromatids of each chromosome are no longer identical to each other.

What is a major difference between mitosis and meiosis I in a diploid organism? Sister chromatids separate in mitosis, while homologous pairs of chromosomes separate in meiosis I. A student is looking through his light microscope (~450 X) at a squashed and stained onion root tip.
1457428
Homologous chromosomes have alleles on the same genes located in the same loci. Heterologous chromosomes have alleles on different genes.
1251501
If homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis I, the result is two gametes that lack that chromosome and two gametes with two copies of the chromosome. ... Nondisjunction occurs when homologous chromosomes (meiosis I) or sister chromatids (meiosis II) fail to separate during meiosis.
