Homologous chromosomes are pairs of each other. They are chromosomes that are identical to each other except for a few variations. Everybody has one from their mom and dad. Everybody has 46 chromosomes, but in reality it is less confusing to say "we have 23 pairs of chromosomes."

What are structures that have different functions in different species but develop from the same embryonic tissue?
Homologous structures
What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
What are structural and numerical mutations?
structural mutation have four types of change in the chromosomal structure: TRANSLOCATION, INVERSION, DELETION AND DUPLICATION.while:numerical mutation results from nondisjunction, or the failure of a pair of homologous choromosomes or a pair of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis or mitosis. The effect of nondisjunction during mitosis is not harmful as the effect of nondisjunction during meiosis.
