Final answer:

Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs with the same genes in the same order but potentially different alleles. They undergo recombination during meiosis.


Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes from different parental origins that contain the same genes in the same order. They replicate, synapse, and undergo recombination during meiosis, resulting in a shuffling of alleles. While they have the same genes in the same linear order, the alleles on homologous chromosome pairs may differ.
