Detailed explanation-1: -The chromosomes in a homologous pair each have the same genes in the same order, but there may be variation between them, resulting in different alleles. Some of the variants in these alleles might have functional implications while others will not.
Detailed explanation-2: -Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs of approximately the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, with genes for the same characteristics at corresponding loci. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism’s mother; the other from the organism’s father.
Detailed explanation-3: -The chromosomal pair which contains the maternal as well as the paternal chromatid of the same length and gene position, and are joined by the centromere is referred to as a homologous chromosome.
