Humans have 22 pairs of homologous non-sex chromosomes (called autosomes), and one pair of sex chromosomes, making a total of 46 chromosomes in a genetically normal human.Each member of a pair is inherited from one of the two parents. In addition to the 22 pairs of homologous autosomes, female humans have a homologous pair of sex chromosomes (two Xs),while males have an X and a Y chromosome.
Humans have 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs). One pair is known as the sex chromosomes X and Y. The remaining 22 pairs that do not determine the gender of offspring are the homologous chromosomes

A karyotype will consist of all the homologous pairs of chromosomes and also one pair of chromosomes representing the sex of the organism (male/female). In Humans, a karyotype will consist of 22 homologous pairs of chromosomes and 1 pair of either XX or XY chromosomes. The total number of homologous pairs of chromosomes depends largely upon which organism is being taken into account, since each organism has its characteristic number of chromosomes in a diploid cell - in humans this is 46.
you need one chromosome from one parent and one from the other parent. These homologous pairs each have the same genes but different alleles. For instance, one may code for black hair while the other codes for brown hair. You need both to be present in order to have both the parents traits.
Males have 44 homologous chromosomes, or 22 pairs. Females are 46 and 23 respectively since they have homologous sex chromosomes.
A human gamete does not have any pairs of homologous chromosomes. A single human gamete contains 23 chromosomes, or a half set. None of these chromosomes are homologous with each other.
No, 22 pairs of chromosomes are autosomes. The last, or 23rd, pair are sex chromosomes.

Autosomes are the chromosomes which do not determine the sex of the offspring. for example, in humans, there are 22 pairs of autosomes, and one pair of sex chromosomes. Autosomes are chromosomes 1-22, and the sex chromosomes are chromosome 23.
A pair of chromosomes is called a "chromosome pair."Generally, the two chromosomes in a pair are "homologous chromosomes."An individual form of a gene is called an "allele." (For example: if someone has genotype "Aa", they have two different alleles, "A" and "a")

A homologous pair is a pair of chromosomes that exist in diploid cells. One of the pair you inherit from your father, the other from your mother. A human has 22 pairs of homologous chromosomes (these do not include sex chromosomes). They are the same length and shape. They also share the same genes. The sequences of the genes may be different, which is what results in genetic variation, but the genes are the same.
