Each set of the chromosomes have similar chromosome number. The same chromosomes of the two sets are known as homologous pair. The structure and the sequence of the genes in the members of homologous pair are same. The size of the chromosomes, position of centromeres and the patterns of light and dark band are at same position.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The way through which two chromosomes of homologous pair can be identical.

Introduction:

In normal cases, one of the copies of homologous chromosome is inherited from mother and another copy is inherited from father.
