Answer:

Homologous chromosomes are made up of chromosome pairs of approximately the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, for genes with the same corresponding loci. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's mother; the other is inherited from the organism's father.

Homologous chromosomes are a pair of chromosomes that consist of same gene sequence each from both the parents.

  • Homologous chromosomes are important in the process of meiosis that allows recombination of genetic material from the mother and the father to form new cells.
  • The homologous chromosomes pair up during the process of Meiosis but not during Mitosis as it is related to heterologous chromosomes that do not exchange genetic material.
  • The homologous chromosomes consist of two identical chromatids that are connected at a common centromere.
  • Homologous chromosomes are significant as they carry genetic information that is passed down from one generation to the next.
