Are all chromosomes, aside from the X and Y chromosomes, homologous? This is what my book is implying, however I cannot find a clear, definitive, yes or no. If this is the case I guess my next question would be; how is this possible? I know that homologues have the same length, gene location, and centromere position. However, if I am inheriting genes from one parent, who is unrelated to my other parent, how can the chromosomes I inherited be homologous? Thanks in advance.
