Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that have the same length, shape, and carry genes for the same traits. Each homologous chromosome carries one copy of each gene, including alleles of a particular gene. Therefore, the alleles of a gene will be found at the same location (locus) on homologous chromosomes.
