Homologous Chromosomes
Chromosomes that are similar are called homologous chromosomes. Chromosomes that have similar paired genes are called homolegous chromosomes. These copies have the same loci. These loci provide points along each chromosome that enable a pair of chromosomes to align.
Homologous pairs of chromosomes carry the same genes. These chromosomes are found in the same loci and contain the same centromere position.
in eukaryotes, there is usually a double set of genome (whole genetic information needed to build the organism). The genome is represented by chromosomes. For example, human cells possess 23 chromosomes. But, there are another 23 chromosomes in the cells, called homologous chromosomes. Their genetic information is very similar, nearly the same. The reason why the information is not 100% the same, is that one set of the 23 chromosomes comes from mother's egg and the second set comes from father's spermatozoon.
Chromosomes contain the genetic material, DNA, which provides the instructions for cellular activity. DNA carries the genes that encode proteins, which are crucial for the functioning of cells. The sequence of nucleotides in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins, and the specific proteins produced regulate and carry out the various cellular processes. Therefore, chromosomes are considered the blueprint of cellular activity because they house the genetic information that governs how cells function.
These are similarities between human spems and egg cells:Number of chromosomes: Normally both contain a haploid chromosome set, i.e. 23 chromosomes, as opposed to normal diploid body cells with 46 chromosomes.Both are developed in a process called meiosis from germ cells.Both are gametes or reproductive cells.

Similar genetics yield similar development.
Homologous chromosomes have all the same genes however they may have different alleles (versions) of those genes.

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.
