Answer:

d. different traits

Step-by-step explanation:

Human cell are diploid (with the exception of gametes) which means that they have two sets of chromosomes: one inherited from mother and another inherited from father (23 chromosomes in each set, total of 46 chromosomes per cell). Those chromosomes in pair are called homologous chromosomes, they are the same in size and shape, contain the same genes but code for different traits.
