Heterologous chromosomes are those thatdo not belong to the same pair.
To give you an example, there are two copies of chromosome 6 and two copies of chromosome 8 in the human genome.
If we were to compare one copy of chromosome 6 with one copy of chromosome 8, the pair would be heterolgous
Heterologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are not homologous, meaning they do not carry the same set of genes in the same order. In humans, chromosomes 1-22 are homologous pairs, while the sex chromosomes (X and Y) are heterologous. Heterologous chromosomes are important for determining an individual's sex and can lead to genetic disorders if they are imbalanced.

Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on heterologous chromosome true or false?
False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes. Heterologous chromosomes do not contain alleles of the same gene at the same locus.
All chromosomes except the X and Y sex chromosomes are called?
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
How many pairs of chromosomes does a pigeon have?
A pigeon typically has 40 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 80 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does a locust have?
Locusts have 23 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 46 individual chromosomes.
In which organelle are chromosomes found?
The chromosomes are found in the nucleus.
Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on heterologous chromosome true or false?
False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes. Heterologous chromosomes do not contain alleles of the same gene at the same locus.
What is the relationships between chromosomes and homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes are structures that contain genetic information, while homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that contain similar genes in the same order. Homologous chromosomes are inherited from each parent and undergo processes like crossing over during meiosis to exchange genetic material.
What has the author Margaret Mary Jones written?
Margaret Mary Jones has written: 'Heterologous expression of a mutant ricin sequence'
What has the author Gillian Sandra Butler-Browne written?
Gillian Sandra Butler-Browne has written: 'Interaction of histones with homologous and heterologous DNA. 1976'
What is the medical term meaning proteins foreign to the body?
A heterologous protein; however, any abnormal substance (bacteria, viruses, cancer cells) in the body is called an antigen
What word means originating within another?
In biological terms, heterologous means from a different species, while allogenic means genetically distinct although from the same species.
What discovery in the 1900 supported Mendel's ideas?
Chromosomes
All chromosomes except the X and Y sex chromosomes are called?
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
How many chromosomes do lobsters have?
A lobster has 100 chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes, the same as a lizard. A dog has 78 chromosomes, and a fly has 12 chromosomes.
Are sex chromosomes called homozygous chromosomes?
No, sex chromosomes are not referred to as homozygous chromosomes. Homozygous chromosomes have identical alleles at a specific gene locus, while sex chromosomes determine an individual's biological sex. In humans, sex chromosomes include X and Y chromosomes.
The stringy structures in the cell nucleus that contain DNA are?
chromosomes
What are chromosomes in?
chromosomes are in cells
