How are genes aligned on homologous?

The genes are aligned between the pole, since it's involving homologous chromosomes, where all characteristics of chromosomes are the same, it kind of makes sense that identical genes would be aligned between the poles.

What is another name for a chromosome?

Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs of the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, with genes for the same characteristics at corresponding loci. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's mother; the other from the organism's father.[1]


What does a pair of homologous mean?

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.


Why don't the sex chromosomes have true homologous partners like the autosomes?

Well... they can. In females (who contain XX chromosomes) there is a homologous pair of chromosomes. In males (XY) the Y chromosome must be in existence to activate the development of male characteristics... Otherwise they'd be females.
