Answer

True

Explain

Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that have the same genes, but not necessarily the same alleles. In the process of gamete formation (sperm and egg cells), a special type of cell division called meiosis occurs. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes segregate, leading to genetic diversity in offspring. In the case of eggs (ova), they undergo meiosis to produce a single egg cell with half the number of chromosomes. Therefore, eggs do have homologous chromosomes in their nucleus, but only one of each homologous pair.
