carry the same alleles for all traits
Usually they dont as homologous chromosomes form bivalents with other homologous chromosomes and crossing over occurs between the 2. But if a chiasmata does form between the t homologous chromosomes they can change information.
They encode the same information (except for the few differences between your mother and your father).
I do GP Biology (9th year here), and I'm on the quiz "Week 13-Meiosis: The Life Cycle of S-x Cells". I got the question What happens during crossing over? The answer was "homologous chromosomes trades pieces of DNA." Hope this was the answer you're looking for!
There are 46 chromosomes in kidney cells, big toe cells, and tip-of-the-nose cells.This is because humans are diploid organisms (having two sets of chromosomes in all cells except gametes(23 chromosomes) and mature red blood cells, which extruded their nuclei when they were developing), and 46 is the human diploid number.
No two people in the world are exactly the same except identical twins. Their chromosomes are exactly the same because the egg split in two and formed two identical embryos.

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."
no they don't necessarily have to have the same alleles but they have the same genes. Homozygous chromosomes would have the same allele for a particular gene and heterozygous chromosomes would have different alleles for a particular gene.
Synapse occurs specifically between homologous pairs. Homologous chromosomes are non-identical chromosomes that can pair (synapse) during meiosis. Except for the sex chromosomes, homologous chromosomes share significant sequence similarity across their entire length, typically contain the same sequence of genes, and pair up to allow for proper disjunction during meiosis

Except for the sex chromosomes paired chromosomes are homologs.
1.Synapsis and crossing over in prophase I: Homologous chromosomes physically connect and exchange genetic information 2.At the metaphase plate, there are paired homologous chromosomes (tetrads), instead of individual replicated chromosomes 3.At anaphase I, it is homologous chromosomes, instead of sister chromatids, that separate
Autosomes are the chromosomes which do not determine the sex of the offspring. for example, in humans, there are 22 pairs of autosomes, and one pair of sex chromosomes. Autosomes are chromosomes 1-22, and the sex chromosomes are chromosome 23.
Some cells use meiosis instead. This is similar except homologous chromosomes split in the first anaphase and sister chromatids split in the second anaphase. Basically, the only cells that don't split via mitosis are sex cells (gamtes) which contain 1/2 the genetic data that an ordinary cell contains.
Diploid: adj. 1 Double or twofold. 2 Having a homologous pair of chromosomes for each characteristic except sex, the total number of chromosomes being twice that of a gamete.-n 1. a diploid cell. 2. An individual characterized by a diploid chromosome number.It has two copies of each chromosome.
