Meiosis Biology II

Disorders involving unusual numbers of sex chromosomes show that "maleness" is caused by

• presence of X chromosome

• presence of Y chromosome

• absence of X chromsome

• absence of Y chromosome

Two chromosomes in the nucleus that carry loci for the same traits in the same position on chromosomes but specify different versions of some traits constitute a pair of

• homologous chromosomes

• heterologous chromosomes

• complimentary chromosmes

• polyploid chromosomes
