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.
