Diploid - j
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Organisms with two sets of chromosomes
j j j j j j j j j j
Designation for diploid is 2n. The "n" designation refers to the chromosome
j j j j j j j j j j j
s, and the 2 refers to the organism having two of each chromosome
j j j j j j j j j j j j
Homologous chromosomes - j j
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Two copies of each chromosome
j j j j j j j j j
The two homologous chromosomes contain the same set of instructi
j j j j j j j j j
ons (called genes). E.g. Hair color, height, blood type
j j j j j j j j
Alleles - j
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Different specific versions of a chromosome
j j j j j j j j j j
, E.g. Both homologous chromosomes may control the hair color gene but
j j j j j j j j j j
they can have different alleles (versions) of these genes. One has gene co
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
ding for light hair, one has coding for dark hair
