What is the term for having two chromosomes of each pair- Normal body cells?
Diploid is the term for cells that contain two chromosomes of each pair. Euploid is a term meaning normal body cells.
The two chromosomes in each matching pair in a karyotype are?
homologous chromosomes- Erick Rosales
Having two chromosomes of each pair-normal body cells?
Normal body cells, also called diploid cells, contain 46 chromosomes. These are matched up in 23 pairs, one pair being the gender chromosomes.
What does mitosis and meiosis share in comparison?
They both 'perform' highly complex and specific operations on chromosomes. Both start with two pair of chromosomes - one newly synthesized (4N). Mitosis ends with one pair in each of two daughter cells (2N), while Meiosis ends with four gametes each having one chromosome (1N).
What are pair of similar chromosomes called?
HomologousWe receive one complete set of chromosomes from each parent. This means that for each chromosome, say chromosome 7, there are two copies in every cell of our bodies: the maternal and paternal copies of chromosome 7.The two copies of one chromosome are called a pair of homologous chromosomes.

Word describing the two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits?
Two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are in the same locations or loci.
What are the 26 different chromosomes?
Chromosomes are arranged in pairs and they are not yet named, but each of the pair is identified by numbers 1 to 22 (ie., twenty-two pairs of autosomes) and the 23rd pair by xx (in females) or xy (in males) to represent gonosomes (sex chromosomes).
What two cells are the exception in not having 46 chromosomes?
sperm and egg, each have 23.
What is a pair of homologous chromosomes?
two chromosomes that have the same length and same apperence.
Why does a sex cell not receive both chromosomes from a pair normally in grasshoppers?
Because in the events of Meiosis the chromosomes split and then the sex cell only has half the number of chromosomes. Once the sperm & egg unite (fertilization) then the chromosomes pair up, and you get all 46 chromosomes.
If Eukaryote cell has 20 chrosomes and undergoes meiosis what is the resulting number of cells and chromosomes?
2 cells and twenty chromatids each (or twenty half-chromosomes each), but I'm not sure for the human sex cells (meiosis) if they are the same for all the other cells in the body (mitosis). If eukaryotic cell having 20 chromosomes undergoes meiosis four cells will be formed, each having 10 chromosomes. This happens because in meiosis I, pairing between homologous chromosomes takes place and each chromosome from this pair gets separated to the opposite pole resulting into reduction of chromosome by half their original number. From these two haploid cell of meiosis I, meiosis second further divides each of these two cells to two by mitosis. Thus, four cells with 10 chromosomes each are formed.
