The matching pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are similar in size, shape, and genetic content, with one chromosome inherited from each parent. Homologous chromosomes undergo genetic recombination during meiosis.
The two chromosomes in each matching pair in a karyotype are homologous chromosomes. These homologous chromosomes carry genes for the same traits at the same loci. One chromosome in the pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father.
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
there are 23 pairs of matching chromosomes 46 chromosomes altogether.
