Homologs are chromosomes (chromosomes are two chromatids joined by a centromere). in diploid cells, there are pairs of homologs called homologous chromosomes--two chromosomes that are essentially the same. when they pair, the chromatids that look the same are called sister chromatids. hope this helps.

One homologous chromosome comes from the father, and the other comes from the mother. Sister chromatids are identical copies of each other.
