A human gamete does not have any pairs of homologous chromosomes. A single human gamete contains 23 chromosomes, or a half set. None of these chromosomes are homologous with each other.

In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.

A diploid human cell has 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. The exception is the male sex chromosomes, which are not exactly homologous, but are treated as such during meiosis.

Matching pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell is called?

Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length,gene position, and centromere location. The position of the genes on each homologous chromosome is the same, however the genes may contain different alleles.A human karyotype shows the complete set of human chromosomes. Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46. Each chromosome pair represents a set of homologous chromosomes. In males, the sex chromosomes X and Y are homologues. In females, both X chromosomes are homologues.


How many pairs of homologous chromosomes are found in human body cells?

Human cells have 23 homologous pairs. They also must go through meiosis before that. Females have 2 X chromosomes, while Males have an X and a Y chromosome. That's why the males cells decide the gender of the child.
