Best Answer

Heterologous chromosomes are those thatdo not belong to the same pair.

To give you an example, there are two copies of chromosome 6 and two copies of chromosome 8 in the human genome.

If we were to compare one copy of chromosome 6 with one copy of chromosome 8, the pair would be heterolgous
