Humans have 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs). One pair is known as the sex chromosomes X and Y. The remaining 22 pairs that do not determine the gender of offspring are the homologous chromosomes

If the body cells in an organism have no homologous pairs of chromosomes the organism is most likely to be?

If the body cells in an organism have no homologous pairs of chromosomes, the organism is most likely to be haploid. This condition is typical of organisms that reproduce through asexual means or certain stages in the life cycle of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms. Examples include many fungi and some algae. In such cases, the cells contain a single set of chromosomes rather than pairs.
