Answer 1

Homologs

Homologs are a set of one maternal and one paternal chromosome that pair up with each other inside a cell during meiosis. The relationship between the two chromosomes (inherited from the father and mother) is separated by the action of genetic duplication.

Answer 2

Each chromosome in humans has a maternal and paternal version. These pairs are called homologous chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes are similar but not identical. They contain the same genes in the same loci which enable them to align correctly with each other before separating during meiosis, but the alleles may not be the same.T he homologous chromosomes are the basis for Mendelian inheritance.
