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.
It means that each of the four chromosomes that come from the male parent has a corresponding chromosomes from the female parent.

mutation
Homologous: pair of chromosomes that are the same Homozygous: alleles of a gene pair are the same
Two chromosomes are homologous if they have the same genes at the same loci (position). In a homologous pair, there is one chromosome from the mother (maternal) and one from the father (paternal).

Homologous chromosomes
Sister chromatids are replicated DNA and are identical. Homologous chromosomes are not, as one comes from the mother and the other comes from the father.

Homologous
Homologous: pair of chromosomes that are the same Homozygous: alleles of a gene pair are the same
Homologous is the word used to describe matching chromosomes, with a homolog being a pair of homologous chromosomes.
sex chromosomes
in a homologous chromosome there are two chromosomes ( a chromosome and a sister chromosome)
Two chromosomes are homologous if they have the same genes at the same loci (position). In a homologous pair, there is one chromosome from the mother (maternal) and one from the father (paternal).
Two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are in the same locations or loci.
we call it diploid
No, only in meiosis
two chromosomes that have the same length and same apperence.
