How many homologous chromosomes in a haploid organism?

There are no homologous chromosomes in a haploid cell, as a haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. One member of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from one set, and the other member comes from the second set, so homologous chromosomes only exist in diploid cells.

What is homologous series in chemistry?

This is part of organic chemistry. Homologous Series: is a series of compounds with the SAME GENERAL FORMULA, SIMILAR CHEMICAL PROPERTIES, and a GRADUATION IN PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, where each member differs from the previous member by a CH2 group. For example: ALKANES: General formula is C(n)H(2n+2) eg. C2H6 or C3H8 or C4H10. All of these are saturated molecules, so they contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms per molecule, ie. all bonds are single and there are no unused electron pairs. This means that these will not be able to undergo addition reactions because there are no free electron pairs to bond to. Therefore, alkanes have SIMILAR CHEMICAL PROPERTIES. Also, no alkane is polar. Alkanes have a GRADUATION IN PHYSICAL PROPERTIES because as there are more CH2 groups, the molecule's mass and size increases, hence the strength of the acting intermolecular forces, the Van der Waal's forces is increasing therefore the bigger the molecule, the stronger the intermolecular forces, therefore the higher the boiling point.
