Question
One _____ is inherited from the father and the other from the mother.Group of answer choicessister chromatidhomologous chromosomechromatin
Solution
The correct answer is "homologous chromosome". This is because each parent contributes one set of chromosomes to their offspring. These pairs of similar but not identical chromosomes are known as homologous chromosomes. One chromosome of each homologous pair comes from the mother (called a maternal chromosome) and the other comes from the father (paternal chromosome).
