Homologous Chromosomes

Question

Homologous chromosomes
A) carry the same alleles.
B) carry information for the same traits.
C) align on the metaphase plate in meiosis II.
D) are identical.

Accepted Answer

Homologous chromosomes carry information for the same traits, but they may not carry the same alleles. They align on the metaphase plate in meiosis I. They are not identical, as they may have different versions of the genes they carry.
