Worked Solution & Example Answer:Homologous chromosomes contain the same A - VCE - SSCE Biology - Question 22 - 2004 - Paper 1
Step 1
D. genes.
Answer
Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes in a diploid organism that have the same structure and gene sequence. They contain the same types of genes, which may have different alleles. For instance, one can inherit a gene for eye color from one parent and a different allele (variant) for eye color from the other parent. Therefore, the correct answer is:
D. genes.
