Question
Check all that apply to different sets of genes that are homologous.
A.have similar biochemical activities (ex. bind to DNA, synthesize polypeptides)
B.exist in the same species
C. exist in the same individual
D.have different cellular functions (ex. cell division, transport to membranes)
E.have different biochemical activities (ex. bind to DNA, synthesize polypeptides)
F. have similar cellular functions (ex. cell division, transport to membranes)
G. exist in different species
******I have already tried: similar biochemical activities, have similar cell function, and exist in different species I got half credit for this so i must be missing something.
Explanation / Answer
Answer
Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs, one from each parent that is similar in length, gene position and centromere location. The position of genes on each homologous chromosome is the same, however the genes may contain different alleles.
A. have similar biochemical activities.
B. exist in same species.
F. have similar cellular functions like cell division and transport to membranes.
G. Homologous chromosomes may exist in different species. For example, drosophila genes are homologous with genes of human beings.
So the answer would be A, B, F, and G.
