CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In humans, the 22 pairs of homologous autosomal chromosomes contain the same genes but code for different traits in their allelic forms, as one was inherited from the mother and one from the father. So, humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes in each cell that contains a nucleus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Homologous chromosomes are two pieces of DNA within a diploid organism which carry the same genes, one from each parental source. In simpler terms, both of your parents provide a complete genome. Each parent provides the same 23 chromosomes, which encode the same genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are the same size and shape and carry genes from the same traits. In homologous chromosomes, one is inherited from the mother and the other is inherited from the father in sexually reproducing animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -These homologous genes are called alleles. Although alleles code for the same trait, they do not need to be the same. For instance, an allele pair might contain one gene that codes for blue eye color while the other gene codes for hazel eye color.

Detailed explanation-5: -Homologous pairs are not identical because one comes from the mother (maternal) and one comes from the father (paternal). These chromosomes are similar but not identical as the alleles for each trait may not be the same.
