To explain:
Whether it is possible to expect that homologous pair of chromosomes can be identical.
Introduction:
Each set of the chromosomes have similar chromosome number. The same chromosomes of the two sets are known as homologous pair. The structure and the sequence of the genes in the members of homologous pair are same. The size of the chromosomes, position of centromeres and the patterns of light and dark band are at same position.
To explain:
The way through which two chromosomes of homologous pair can be identical.
Introduction:
In normal cases, one of the copies of homologous chromosome is inherited from mother and another copy is inherited from father. Through genomic imprinting, it can be determined which copy is maternal and which one is paternal. However, there are times when both the copies are inherited from one single parent.
