Answer the following question given this paragraph: In sexually reproducing species, chromosomes are present in cells in pairs. Chromosomes in the same pair are called homologous chromosomes. They have the same genes at the same loci. These may be the same or different alleles. During meiosis, when gametes are produced, homologous chromosomes separate. They go to different gametes. Thus, the alleles for each gene also go to different gametes. Q: What are chromosomes in the same pair called? Choices: - homogeneous chromosomes - regulated chromosomes - reversible chromosomes - homologous chromosomes A:
homologous chromosomes
