No, only in meiosis
Therefore when two chromosomes of the exact structure exist, they are able to pair together to form homologous chromosomes
Homologous chromosomes do not pair during mitosis. they only pair in meiosis to form tetrads.
In mitosis each daughter cell ends up with the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell.
mitosis starts with one diploid(2n) and then goes to two diploids(2n) In a human there is 46 chromosomes (23 homologous pair)
homologous chromosomes behave independently Pairing of homologous chromosomes allowing independent segregation and crossing over is unique to meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes behave independently.
It depends on if it was during the process of mitosis or mitosis. And, how many chromosomes it began with.

In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1. In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1.
Chromosomes condense into an X shape before mitosis. During prophase, the chromatin in the nucleus begins to condense and coil, forming distinct X-shaped structures known as chromosomes. This condensation allows the chromosomes to be easily moved and segregated during cell division.
Tetrad
mutation
Homologous
Homologous: pair of chromosomes that are the same Homozygous: alleles of a gene pair are the same
