Diploid
Humans have a total of 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes.
The cells that have pairs of homologous chromosomes are called diploid cells.
Homologous chromosomes
The total number of chromosomes in a cell with homologous pairs is twice the number of unique chromosomes. For humans, the total number of chromosomes in a cell with homologous pairs is 46.
Human cells have 23 homologous pairs. They also must go through meiosis before that. Females have 2 X chromosomes, while Males have an X and a Y chromosome. That's why the males cells decide the gender of the child.
the gene's alleles are found in matched chromosome pairs
Leopard frogs have 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes, for a total of 26 chromosomes.
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.
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.
there are 23 pairs of matching chromosomes 46 chromosomes altogether.
