How can the two chromosomes that make up a homologous pair differ?

They can contain different alleles for the same trait.

They can contain genes that code for different traits.

They can contain the same genes in different orders.

They cannot differ in any way when homologous.

Hi @lavishlee I'm Summer, I will help you in anyway I can. I saw you were new too the website so WELCOME to Openstudy

They are homologous meaning they have the same genes in the same order but the actual sequences at some gene loci are slightly different, they are alleles.
