Homologous chromosomes are the matching chromosomes that an individual got from the parents. Only one of the pair is passed on in the gametes. So disagree.

Homologous means that every chromosome has it's pair (meaning two sets of chromosomes). In gametes there is only one set of chromosomes (23) so I'd say that there are NO homologous chromosomes in gametes.
