Question

Chromosome A includes genes for an eye color of black.
Chromosome B comprises genes for hair color of black, and
Chromosome C has genes for an eye color of grey.

  1. A and B are homologous chromosomes.
  2. Homologous chromosomes are B and C.
  3. A and C are homologous chromosomes.
  4. Not a single chromosome are homologous to each other.

hintHint:

Homologous chromosomes have genes coding for same trait at same loci.

The correct answer is: A and C are homologous chromosomes.


    • Homologous chromosomes posses approximately same length with same position of centromere
    • A pair of homologous chromosomes have genes coding for same trait at same loci or position
    • For example, in chromosome 15 OCA2 gene is responsible for eye color
    • If a pair of chromosome is given and the eye color is produced by same OCA2 gene, they are called homologous chromosomes
    • The alleles of the gene need not be same
    • As given, the chromosome A and C code for same gene with different allele
