What are pairs of the same chromosomes called?

Answer 1

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")

Answer 2

Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length,
gene position, and centromere location. The position of the genes on each homologous chromosome is the same, however the genes may contain different alleles.
A human karyotype shows the complete set of human chromosomes. Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46. Each chromosome pair represents a set of homologous chromosomes. In males, the sex chromosomes X and Y are homologues. In females, both X chromosomes are homologues.

Answer 3

These paired chromosomes are called Bivalents

Answer 4

When chromosomes line up into pairs at the center of the cell, the cell is in the metaphase.
