Almost all cells in an animal (except gametes) have __ sets of chromosomes? in other words, how many homologs for a particular c
anastassius [24]

The homologous pair (sister chromosome) separate during meiosis I. If there was an extra chromosome in addition to this set then this would cause a condition called aneuploidy.
