How many pairs of homologous chromosomes does the hippogriff have?
137984
None. A hippogriff is an imaginary creature out of Greek mythology.

Yes it is 4. Since the diploid number of chromosomes in a cell is 4, there will be two pairs of homologous chromosomes. During crossing over the homologous chromosomes exchange their genes and hence now we have 4 different chromosmes.

46 chromosomes per nucleus, with each chromosome being two individual DNA molecules, for 92 total--though immediately prior to mitosis and the dissolution of the nucleqr membrane, there will be twice that many DNA molecules.  And in the middle of the replication of that DNA, there will be hundreds of unlinked okazaki fragments.  Gamete cells can have less, depending on the stage of meiosis.  A complete gamete will have 23 chromosomes, or 46 DNA molecules.

You've probably heard the fact that our DNA is 98% the same as that of a monkey, what many people don't know is that our DNA is also about 80% the same as that of a fruit fly. Dog DNA probably comes in somewhere in between. I don't think anyone has ever done a study on that though.

Ss and Ss\n\nGenotype of both parents are heterozygous. If you draw out the Punnet square, you see 1/4 of the offspring will have long hair while 3/4 will have short hair. The phenotypic ratio of long hair to short hair ends up being 1:3, just like the puppies are 2:6.\n\nGenotype ratio ends up being:\n1/2 heterozygous Ss\n1/4 homozygous dominant SS\n1/4 homozygous recessive ss\n\nHope this helps.

A homozygote's cells are diploid or polyploid and have the same alleles at a locus (position) on homologous chromosomes. When an organism is referred to as being homozygous for a specific gene, it means that it carries two identical copies of that gene for a given trait on the two corresponding chromosomes (e.g., the genotype is AA or aa). Such a cell or such an organism is called a homozygote.\n\nA homozygous dominant genotype occurs when a particular locus has two copies of the dominant allele (e.g., AA). A homozygous recessive genotype occurs when a particular locus has two copies of the recessive allele (e.g., aa). This can occur when both parents carry at least one copy of the allele.\n\nPut simply: Homozygous is just having two of the same alleles.

It is haploid, only having 23 chromosomes until it is fertilized. Then it is diploid with 23 pairs(46 total) of chromosomes, and is capable of growing into a baby.

Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes in a biological cell that pair (synapse) during meiosis, or alternatively, non-identical chromosomes that contain information for the same biological features and contain the same genes at the same loci but possibly different genetic information, called alleles, at those genes. For example, two chromosomes may have genes encoding eye colour, but one may code for brown eyes, the other for blue.\n\nNon-homologous chromosomes representing all the biological features of an organism form a set, and the number of sets in a cell is called ploidy. In diploid organisms (most plants and animals), each homologous chromosome is inherited from a different parent. But polyploid organisms have more than two homologous chromosomes.\n\nHomologous chromosomes are similar in length, except for sex chromosomes in several taxa, where the X chromosome is considerably larger than the Y chromosome. These chromosomes share only small regions of homology.\n\nHumans have 22 pairs of homologous non-sex chromosomes (called autosomes). Each member of a pair is inherited from one of their two parents. In addition, female humans have a homologous pair of X sex chromosomes; males have an X and a Y chromosome.

normal cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 chromatids)\nbefore mitotic division the number doubles to 46 pairs (92 chromatids) the chromosomes are arranged as sister chromatids joined by the centromere and aligned with their copies (this is where recombination events can take place). the pairs are then pulled apart and separated in to the two new cells (each with 23 pairs). \n\nNote: for meiotic division (production of gametes (sperm and egg)) 23 pairs of chromosomes are divided in to 2 lots of 23 single chromosomes.

Absolutely nothing to do with chromosome count.\n\n>>>> How closely related are humans to apes and \n>>>> other animals?\n\nIt varies depending on the animal obviously. Around 95% relatedness to chimpanzees. Around 92% for gorillas, as little as 80% for orang-utans. It gets progressively less the  more distant the other species are in evolutionary terms.\n\n>>>>How do scientists measure that?\n\nThere are two basic ways. One is to measure the degree of similarity of the genes, that is the functional parts of the DNA. That generally produces figures quite a bit higher than the ones I gave above. The other is to sequence the entire genome, or large stretches of it and compare it that way. Because those long stretches contain non-coding material they are generally more dissimilar between species.\n\n>>>>Are humans related to plants at all?\n\n\nYep. All living things on this planet are related to some degree. IIRC humans share around 15% of their genes with bananas.

Well, you have definitions for two different concepts: homologous genes and homologous chromosomes.\nHomologous chromosomes are essentially the ones that become paired during meiosis. They code for the same proteins and each has one version  (=allele) of the protein code. Simply put, the dominant allele will be the one that is expressed (i.e. actually codes for the protein) while the other will be inactive. Of course, there are alternative situations such as codominance in which both alleles are expressed, etc.\nThe DNA strands of the two homologous chromosomes are extremely similar, because they have the same genes, either exactly the same sequence (same alleles) or a slightly different one (different alleles). \n\nHomologous genes are those genes that occur in different species but have a hypothetical common origin. For example, some mutations result in duplicate segments of a chromosome. If the mutation is not lethal, there will be segment of DNA strand with "extra" copies of one or more genes, which are able to evolve separately and sometimes acquire a new function. \nThe researchers have to compare the DNA sequences from different species, and align them (this can be done manually or with the aid of computer algorithms) by finding characteristic DNA regions. These strands are not "identical" but rather have these comparable regions in different taxa. In addition, many homologous genes have similar functions in different species.\nFor instance, the aminoacid sequences of a protein involved in eye development are the same in humans, mice, and zebrafish, and only differ by 6 aminoacids from the same protein in the fruit fly. Therefore the codon sequence will be almost the same for this homologous gene in all these species.\nThere are entire "gene families" that presumably arose from duplication events during the evolutionary history of vertebrates.

The male and female reproductive "tracts" are homologous.  This means that they're similar in structure and evolutionary origin, but are different in function.
