Introduction

Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that have the same structure, gene content, and function. They are composed of two chromosomes that are similar in size, shape, and genes they contain. Humans, for example, have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes. One set chromosome is inherited from each parent.
