Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Homologous chromosomes have the same shape, size, length & gene loci.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Homologous chromosomes are the same size, shape and have the same centromere location. what’s different is homologous chromosomes will have different genetic sequences. Sister chromatids are the structures that are the same size, shape, centromere location and genetic sequences.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chromosomes in a homologous pair each have the same genes in the same order, but there may be variation between them, resulting in different alleles.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two chromosomes in a homologous pair are very similar to one another and have the same size and shape. Most importantly, they carry the same type of genetic information: that is, they have the same genes in the same locations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homologous chromosomes have same genes at the same locus but can have different alleles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Homologous chromosomes are two chromosomes (one from the mother and one from the father) that have the same length, overall appearance, and alleles / genes, although the alleles / genes may differ.
