Detailed explanation-1: -Diploid nuclei contain pairs of homologous chromosomes while haploid only contain a single chromosome from each pair. Hence both haploid and diploid contain homologous pairs.
Detailed explanation-2: -A diploid cell is a cell that contains a diploid chromosome number, meaning the cell has two sets (or two copies) of homologous chromosomes in the nucleus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Homologous chromosomes are matched pairs containing genes for the same traits in identical locations along their length. Diploid organisms inherit one copy of each homologous chromosome from each parent; all together, they are considered a full set of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -At the conclusion of anaphase, each end of the cell has an identical and complete set of 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes; they are still diploid.
