Homologous chromosome is when a pair of chromosomes containing the same linear gene sequences, each derived from one parent, and a tetrad is formed when 2 homologous chromosomes join together
The bivalents are homologous chromosome containing a total of two chromosomes. On the other hand, tetrad is the homologous pair of chromosomes containing four chromosome.
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
It is Homologous chromosomes because they carry thesame genes and homones.
Homologous Chromosomes
I believe you are talking about homologous chromosomes- they have the same sequence of genes and same structure.
The bivalents are homologous chromosome containing a total of two chromosomes. On the other hand, tetrad is the homologous pair of chromosomes containing four chromosome.
Tetrad
paired homologous chromosomes
In prophase I, doubled homologous chromosomes group together to form a tetrad.

when two of homologous chromosomes form a tetrad sister chromatids and crossover
Homologous chromosomes are two sister chomatids stuck together with cohesins forming a tetrad. They have the same genes but not necissarily the same alleles, so they could carry hair color, one with brown the other with blonde. So, homologous chromosomes share the same gene.
A tetrad is the pairing of homologous chromosomes. A human offspring inherits 23 chromosomes (N) from each parent upon fertilization, giving the offspring 46 chromosomes (2N). In meiosis, homologous chromosomes (N from mom and N from dad) come together and form a tetrad, which consists of 2 homologous chromosomes. Since you inherit a chromosome from both parents (2N) that pair up to form a tetrad, you will have 23 tetrads that have a chromosome from mom and dad paired together. 1 N from mom + 1 N from dad = homologous pair = 1 tetrad 2N/2 = N tetrad --humans--> 2(23 chromosomes)/2 = 23 tetrads Diploid#/2 = # tetrad
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
In prophase I, doubled homologous chromosomes group together to form a tetrad.
Homologous Chromosomes.- for fact.
Those chromosomes having pairs of approximately the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, with genes for the same characteristics at corresponding loci are known to be homologous chromosomes. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's mother; the other from the organism's father. They are usually not identical, but carry the same type of information.
