Answer:
A pair of corresponding chromosomes of the same size and shape, one from each parent are called homologous chromosomes.
Explanation:
During fertilisation if pairing between sex chromosomes of same shape and size occurs such pairing is called homologous pairing and chromosomes are called homologous chromosomes.
For example if the zygote formed is female that contains xx chromosomes and this pair is considered homologous.
But this does not occur in case of male zygotes as they carry xy chromosomes.
