Dear student, In genetics, two chromosomes located on the same
position on a karyotype are said to be homologous chromosomes For
example, the two chromosomes located at pair number one in a human
karyotype are homologous chromosomes The term homozygous in
genetics refers to the situation where two genes or alleles for a
particular trait are the same on a pair of homologous chromosomes
For example, in pea plants, if both height genes for the trait of
height in a particular plant are tall, then that plant is said to
be homozygous tall Regards
