They are the same size and shape (identical)
Each chromosome in a pair of homologous chromosomes is inherited from one parent. One chromosome comes from the mother (maternal) and the other from the father (paternal).
The only homologous chromosome pair in humans that is not identical is the sex chromosomes, specifically the X and Y chromosomes.
Crossing over involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Each homologous pair consists of four chromatids (two from each chromosome), and crossing over occurs between a pair of chromatids from each homologous chromosome. This results in the exchange of genetic material between the chromatids.
A pair of corresponding chromosomes is called homologous chromosomes. They are similar in size and carry genes that control the same traits. One chromosome in the pair is inherited from each parent.
The exceptions to the rule that every chromosome is part of a homologous pair are the gametes. Gametes are eggs and sperm, and each cell has only 23 chromosomes, which form pairs in the zygote after fertilization.
in a homologous chromosome there are two chromosomes ( a chromosome and a sister chromosome)

This would be the haploid condition.
i think its called a homologous chromosome.
Haploid
Most homologous pairs look alike. They carry genes for the same characteristics and line up on the chromosome in the same order!
