Homologous chromosomes contain the same genes and the same locations, or loci but may have different alleles. But jsut so this definition makes sense, lets define some of the words.
A gene contains the traits that is passed down from two parents to its offspring. An allele is one part of a pair of genes that are located in a particular spot that controls the same trait.
