Chromosomes are a microscopic thread-like structure, and it is the part of a cell that carries hereditary information in the form of genes.

Homologous chromosomes pair up during the process of meiosis 1. The part of the Homologous chromosomes can be exchanged during the process of recombination. Examples of these are 22 autosomal chromosomes in humans.
