Question

these two chromosomes contain the same set of genes. one of these came from the father and one from the mother. these two chromosomes are called: image of two chromosomes with labels a, b and a, b, and text same set of genes between them

• allele chromosomes
• diploid chromosomes
• homologous chromosomes
• haploid chromosomes

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "allele chromosomes" is incorrect as alleles are gene variants, not a chromosome type.
• "diploid chromosomes" refers to a cell with two sets of chromosomes, not the pair described.
• "homologous chromosomes" are pairs with the same gene set, one from each parent, matching the description.
• "haploid chromosomes" are single - set chromosomes (e.g., gametes), not a pair with one from each parent.

Answer:

C. homologous chromosomes
