Basically we are all made up from 50% mum and 50% dad. Chromosomes are a condensed version of our DNA; these chromosomes (DNA) contain the genes that tell our body what to do during development and throughout our lives. We have 23 chromosome pairs in total we get one chromosome from the mother and one from the father. The chromosomes are called homologous since each chromosome pair will contain the same genes on it but the genes will not necessarily code for the same thing. For example a chromosome will have the genes for eye color on it and since we have one from the mother and father we will have a pair of chromosomes with the gene with eye color on it. This would be a homologous chromosome pair, however one gene may say blue eyes the other may say brown eyes. The genes are still the same however each color would be a different allele for the gene.
If a species has homologous chromosomes, it means that they have pairs of chromosomes with similar genes in the same order. This can facilitate genetic diversity through processes like crossing over during meiosis. Homologous chromosomes are essential for genetic variation and proper segregation of genetic material during cell division.

Homologous chromosomes.
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that carry the same sets of genes, with one chromosome inherited from the mother and one from the father. They pair up during meiosis and are crucial for genetic variation and inheritance.
Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that have the same genes in the same order, one from each parent, and they are involved in genetic recombination during meiosis.

They have homologous chromosomes
Homologous chromosomes.
Chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics are called homologous chromosomes. They carry similar genetic information, one inherited from each parent, and play a key role in genetic inheritance and variation. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes undergo recombination, contributing to genetic diversity.
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
Homologous chromosomes contain the same genes in the same location. They are pairs of chromosomes—one inherited from each parent—that carry the same gene sequence. Homologous chromosomes are essential for genetic diversity and inheritance.

Homologous chromosomes.
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that have the same length and carry genes for the same traits. One homologous chromosome is inherited from each parent. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up, allowing for genetic material to be exchanged between them.
