It means that each of the four chromosomes that come from the male parent has a corresponding chromosomes from the female parent. ~lisa 9th grade~ :]
What is a pair of replicated homologous chromosomes?
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.
How many chromosomes come from each parent?
Half of the chromosomes come from the mother and the other half come from the father. 46 total and 23 pairs.
Where do the chromosomes within a fertilized egg come from?
The egg contains the genetic material of the female The sperm contains the genetic information of the male Once the egg is fertilised it contains the genetic information of both parents - male and female.
In sexual reproduction what fraction of the offspring's genes is contributed by each parent?
Depending on the type of organism and how many chromosomes it has, all of them come from the parent when the organism splits in the process of mitosis.
In a diploid cell what is the origin of each of the homologous chromosomes?
Homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell come from male and female parents during fertilization. Pairing of these chromosomes takes place during meiosis to interchange the genetic material to facilitate evolution among those organisms.
What causes a baby to come out deformed?
Mutations in their chromosomal DNA. Each parent gives chromosomes to the baby, and when they meet sometimes there are doubles of chromosomes, missing chromosomes, or mutated chromosomes which cause abnormalities in the DNA and overall the child.
Where do zygotes get chromosomes from?

What comes from the female parent?
It's called an Egg. or an ovum, a female gamete
What are The two sets of chromosome that come from the female parent and the male parent?
heterozygous
How many chromosomes do the parents have?
A mother have 46 chromosomes and a father have 46 chromosomes when they come together in fertilization these chromosomes splits 23 from the mother (egg) and 23 from the father (sperms) and so forming the new zygote which is the baby with 46 chromosomes
