Answer #1

A)-Homomorphic chromosome pair which are not morphologically identical( e.g., sex chromosome)

Heteromorphic chromosome pair with some homology but differing in size, shape, or staining properties.

B)-Homogametic sex refers to the sex of a species in which the sex chromosome are same. For exampke in humans, female with two X chromosome.

Heterogametic sex refers to the sex of a species in which the sex chromosome are not the same. For example in humans, male, with an X and a Y sex chromosome.
