Mention the number of paired homozygous chromosomes in

(i) Human female

(ii) Human male

(i) 23

(ii) 22

Reason — The term used in the above question should be "homologous". All the 23 pairs of chromosomes in female are homologous while in male only 22 pairs are homologous because one pair (sex chromosomes-XY) is different in size and gene sequence.
