x chromsones/y chromosomes
A chromosome with matching information is called a homologous chromosome. Homologous chromosomes have the same genes at the same loci, although they may have different versions of those genes. These chromosomes are inherited, one from each parent.
mutagenesis occurs
A homologous strand of a chromosome is a duplicated copy of the original chromosome, formed during DNA replication. It contains the same genetic information as the original chromosome and is held together by a centromere. Homologous chromosomes play a key role in meiosis, where they pair up and exchange genetic material during crossing over.
The two copies of each chromosome in body cells are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are similar in size, shape, and genetic content and are inherited from each parent.
There will be four different genetically different types of sperm cells as a result of the combination of genes A and B on one chromosome and a and b on the homologous chromosome: AB, Ab, aB, and ab.
in a homologous chromosome there are two chromosomes ( a chromosome and a sister chromosome)
There are 2n possible homologous chromosome alignments, where n is the number of homologous pairs of chromosomes.
Homologous
The pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) at the tips of the Y chromosome are homologous to regions on the X chromosome. These PARs are responsible for pairing and recombination between the X and Y chromosomes during meiosis. About 5% of the Y chromosome is homologous to the X chromosome in humans.
A chromosome with matching information is called a homologous chromosome. Homologous chromosomes have the same genes at the same loci, although they may have different versions of those genes. These chromosomes are inherited, one from each parent.
chromosome pairs
Each chromosome in a pair of homologous chromosomes is inherited from one parent. One chromosome comes from the mother (maternal) and the other from the father (paternal).
homologous chromosomes separate.

The only homologous chromosome pair in humans that is not identical is the sex chromosomes, specifically the X and Y chromosomes.
A homologous strand of a chromosome is a duplicated copy of the original chromosome, formed during DNA replication. It contains the same genetic information as the original chromosome and is held together by a centromere. Homologous chromosomes play a key role in meiosis, where they pair up and exchange genetic material during crossing over.
When a segment of a chromosome breaks away and joins a non-homologous chromosome, it is called a translocation. This can lead to gene disruptions and potentially cause genetic disorders.
