Answer:
Homologous
Explanation:
Homologous chromosomes are also known as homologs.
Homologous chromosomes are the chromosomes that are similar in size, location of centromere and in the genes that they contain.
Different species have different numbers and different structures of their chromosome. It can even vary within an individual organism. Gametes contain half the number of chromosomes as the somatic cells.
The chromosomes that are of the same length, have the same position if their centromere and their genes correspond to the same loci are known as homologous chromosomes.
The alleles of homologous chromosomes could be different and thus homologous chromosomes can result in the development of different phenotypes for a single gene.
The 22 pairs of autosomes present in humans are homologous chromosomes. In a female cell, the twenty-third pair is also homologous (XX) but in the male cell, it is heterologous or non-homologous (XY).
Therefore, homologous chromosomes are the ones that are similar in size, location of centromere and genes.
