Detailed explanation-1: -Each pair contains two chromosomes, one coming from each parent, which means that children inherit half of their chromosomes from their mother and half from their father. Chromosomes can be seen through a microscope when the nucleus dissolves during cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -Why do you think humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes? Humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes because you get a set from your mother and the other set from your father, resulting in two sets.

Detailed explanation-3: -S Phase: In each human somatic cell, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes; one chromosome comes from the mother and one comes from the father. These pairs are known as homologous chromosomes or homologues.

Detailed explanation-4: -The 46 chromosomes of a human cell are organized into 23 pairs, and the two members of each pair are said to be homologues of one another (with the slight exception of the X and Y chromosomes; see below). Human sperm and eggs, which have only one homologous chromosome from each pair, are said to be haploid (1n).

Detailed explanation-5: -We inherit a set of 23 chromosomes from our mothers and another set of 23 from our fathers. One of those pairs are the chromosomes that determine the biological sex of a child – girls have an XX pair and boys have an XY pair, with very rare exceptions in certain disorders.
