A cell that begins meiosis has 23 chromosomes inherited from the mother (shown in
green in the cartoon below) and 23 chromosomes inherited from the father (shown
in blue in the cartoon below). In the process of meiosis, chromosomes begin to
match up in homologous pairs. How would you know if two chromosomes were
homologous? (Select any that apply.)
They code for the same traits
They are similar size
They have similar shape
They have the same genes located in the same region
