A homologous pair is a pair of chromosomes that exist in diploid cells. One of the pair you inherit from your father, the other from your mother.
A human has 22 pairs of homologous chromosomes (these do not include sex chromosomes). They are the same length and shape. They also share the same genes. The sequences of the genes may be different, which is what results in genetic variation, but the genes are the same.

∙ 8y ago"Homologous pairs" are pairs of chromosomes which are of approximately the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, for genes with the same corresponding loci.
One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's mother (in the egg); the other is inherited from the organism's father (in the sperm). The exception are the sex chromosomes which, while paired, in the male of the species the pairs are not homologous.
