The two copies of each chromosome in somatic cells that are not replicating are called homologous chromosomes. Each homologous pair consists of one chromosome inherited from the mother and one from the father. These chromosomes carry similar genes, but may have different alleles. In diploid organisms, somatic cells typically contain two sets of homologous chromosomes.
There will be two copies of each chromosome in all somatic cells called homologous chromosome..In case of reproductive cells there will be only one set during gamete formation...
HomologousWe receive one complete set of chromosomes from each parent. This means that for each chromosome, say chromosome 7, there are two copies in every cell of our bodies: the maternal and paternal copies of chromosome 7.The two copies of one chromosome are called a pair of homologous chromosomes.
trisonomy
It is called gene duplication when extra copies of a gene or segment of DNA are created within a chromosome. This process can lead to genetic variation and the emergence of new gene functions.
The two copies of DNA on each chromosome that form just before cell division are called sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are identical copies of the original chromosome that are created during DNA replication in the S phase of the cell cycle. They are held together by a structure called the centromere.

A cell that has two copies of each chromosome is called a diploid cell. This means that each chromosome in the cell has a matching homologous chromosome. Humans have diploid cells in their body, with a total of 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs.
Body cells are called somatic cells. Soma- means body. Germ cells are those that produce egg or sperm.

The process by which a daughter cell accidentally get two copies of a chromosome is called "nondisjuction".
In one kind of abnormal chromosome inheritance called Down syndrome, a child has three copies of Chromosome 21!
The condition in which an individual has three copies of a chromosome is called trisomy. It can result in genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, which is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21.
