It means they are the same.

Homologous chromosomes (also called homologs or homologues) are chromosome pairs of approximately the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, with genes for the same characteristics at corresponding loci. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's mother; the other from the organism's father.

How many homologous chromosomes would be in a offspring?

Offspring inherit one set of chromosomes from each parent, resulting in pairs of homologous chromosomes. In humans, for example, there are 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes, totaling 46 chromosomes. Thus, an offspring would have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes, one from each parent.


Where are homologous pairs of chromosomes not normally found in?

Homologous pairs of chromosomes are not normally found in gametes, which are reproductive cells such as eggs and sperm. This is because gametes are haploid, meaning they only contain one set of chromosomes, while homologous pairs consist of two sets of matching chromosomes.
