### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Alleles and Genes**: - Alleles are different forms of a gene that can exist at a specific locus on a chromosome. Each individual carries two alleles for each gene, one inherited from each parent. 2. **Defining Homologous Chromosomes**: - Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that have the same structure and gene sequence. They are similar in size, shape, and the types of genes they carry, but they may contain different alleles. ...
