1- Homologous choromosomes

4- Sister chromatids

3- Alleles


4- Genes

#2

Chromosome 1 Strands of DNA tightly coiled around histones

Chromatin 1 Condensed DNA

Karyotype 1 Arrangement of stained chromosomes into homologous pairs from longest to shortest

Centromere 1 A specialized region on chromosomes where sister chromatids are joined together

Explanation

* Chromosomes are thread-like structures seen inside the nucleus of the cell.

It contains the genetic material/DNA.

They are made of DNA tightly coiled around histones.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.

* Chromatin is the condensed form of DNA.

It contains DNA & proteins.

* Karyotype is the arrangement of complete set of metaphase chromosomes in the cell.

* Centromere is the constricted region of the chromosome.

It divides chromosome into short arm & long arm.

It is the region where sister chromatids are joined together.

They contain identical alleles.

Explanation: Homologous chromosomes have the same genes but don't have identical alleles. This means that the alleles will be different from one another in the homologous chromosomes.

#8

Structure A and B are sister chromatids.

Hope that helps
