Question

what term describes a pair of two different chromosomes?
monosomy
homozygous
heterozygous
analogous

Explanation:

• Monosomy refers to the absence of one chromosome from a pair.
• Homozygous means having two identical alleles for a particular gene.
• Heterozygous means having two different alleles for a particular gene.
• Analogous structures are those that have similar functions but different evolutionary origins. In the context of chromosomes, the term that describes a pair of two different chromosomes is not among the options. However, if we consider the options given, none of them accurately describe a pair of two different chromosomes. But if we assume a mis - phrasing (maybe referring to alleles on chromosomes), heterozygous is about having different alleles (which are on chromosomes).

Answer:

heterozygous
