Solution
- Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes in a diploid organism that share the same size, shape, and sequence of genes.
- Within each pair, one chromosome is inherited from the father (paternal) and the other from the mother (maternal).
- They pair up during meiosis to exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over, which is essential for creating genetic variation.
