Answer;
-23 in males
In humans, 23 in males is the only homologous chromosome pair that isn't the same.
Explanation;
-In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46.
-Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females. Females have two copies of the X chromosome, while males have one X and one Y chromosome.
-The 22 autosomes are numbered by size. The other two chromosomes, X and Y, are the sex chromosomes.
Some reasons:
→ They're cheap and common animals.
→ They can be either a source of meat, skin (leather) or milk.
→ Farmers benefit a lot with them, since what they produce are things of everyday consumption.
→ You don't need to spend much to be able to have them (mostly only with land).
