Two chromosomes in a nucleus that carry genes controlling the same inherited characteristics are

The correct answer is: homologous chromosomes.

Explanation:

Diploid species like us humans have two sets of the same 23 chromosomes: 1 set of chromosomes is inherited from our mother, the other set we inherit from our father, making up a total of 46 chromosomes in every somatic cell (sexual cells have only one set of chromosomes - they're haploid).

Two chromosomes are homologous when they belong to the same pair and have the same genetic information, although they can have a few variations. These variations from one homologous chromosome to the other are called alleles and represent the different phenotypic variables that can result from the same gene. If these alleles are different from one another, only one of them will express itself (there are a few exceptions, like blood type) as the organism will be heterozygous for this trait; if the alleles are the same, the individual will be homozygous for the trait.

This is the basis for Mendelian inheritance.

The answer is homologous chromosomes.

Explanation:

Two choromosomes in a nucleus which carry genes that control the same inherited characteristics or phenotype are called homologous chromosomes.

I hope this answer helps.

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."
