Answer:

there different because

Step-by-step explanation:

Unduplicated chromosomes are single linear strands.

Duplicated chromosomes contain two identical copies (sister chromatids) joined by a centromere, that result from DNA replication .

Homologous chromosomes are not identical and do not originate from the same organism (One from each parent).
