    Answer: do not separate during meiosis

    Explanation: A homologous chromosome is a pair of chromosome of approximately the length that is usually located on the same locus. Each human body cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes or a total of 46 chromosomes and each of the 23 pairs is a homologous chromosome. During meiosis, the two chromosomes in every pair separate giving rise to a gamete with haploid number of chromosomes, that is gametes having half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. The gametes (sperm and egg) have a single set of chromosomes, that is a total of 23 chromosomes.
