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.

They can contain different alleles for the same trait.
Suggested answer: They can contain different alleles for the same trait. Although the other 2 options (They can contain genes that code for different traits & They can contain the same genes in different orders) are possible as well. These can arise as a result of spontaneous mutation [e.g. gene transposition/inversion & transposons (which would result in additional genes introduced into the chromosome that can code for different traits)].
