Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Homologous chormosomes are chormosomes having same structural features. In dipilod nuclei, pairs of homologous chromosomes can be identified at the start of meiosis. One member of each pair comes from the female parent and other from the male parent. Homologous chromosomes have the same pattern of genes along the chromosome but the nature of the genes may differ.
