Examples of 'homologous chromosomes' in a sentence

Meaning of "homologous chromosomes"

homologous chromosomes - This term is used in genetics to describe a pair of chromosomes that are similar in shape, size, and genetic content. They occur in pairs, one from each parent, and contain corresponding genes for the same traits. Homologous chromosomes are involved in processes such as genetic recombination and the inheritance of traits
