Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homologous chromosomes carry the same genes, but may carry different alleles. Sister chromatids are identical copies of each other resulting from DNA replication. Paralogs are genes that have evolved from a common ancestral gene but may have diverged in function. Parameres are regions of chromosomes involved in meiotic crossing over. Chromomeres are localized condensations of chromatin within a chromosome.
