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.
Usually they dont as homologous chromosomes form bivalents with other homologous chromosomes and crossing over occurs between the 2. But if a chiasmata does form between the t homologous chromosomes they can change information.
Sister chromatids are identical while homologous chromosomes are merely similar.They are different because they separate the cells and then they become babies but only the homologous chromosomes do.
They are separated in Anaphase I of Meiosis I.
In humans, 46 chromosomes in all cells. (23 homologous pairs)

A somatic cell (body cell) is a cell that would have homologous chromosomes.
No they are not. Chromosomes [homologous or (occasionally) not] make Lungs. The Nuclei of Lung Cells also make Chromosomes.

Males have 44 homologous chromosomes, or 22 pairs. Females are 46 and 23 respectively since they have homologous sex chromosomes.

5 homologous chromosomes are in a fruit fly somatic cells.

Homologous pairs.
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.
