Homologous Chromosome Pair
A pair of chromosomes, one from each parent, that are similar in shape, size, and genetic content.
Structure of Homologous Chromosomes
Consists of two chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure.
Result of Homologous Chromosome Pairing
Formation of a structure during meiosis that contributes to genetic variation.
Meiosis
A type of cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
Genetic Variation
Differences in DNA sequences among individuals, which enhances diversity in a population.
