I believe you are looking for "homologous" chromosomes

Homologous chromosome have the same genes in the same locations. For instance, two genes for the eye color of blue on one chromosome and brown on the other. You will have a dominant and recessive form as to which the offspring will acquire. If you look at the banding patterns on a karyotype, you can see how these genes are matched up.
This contributes to variability in organisms and is support by Mendel's Law of Segregation.

Homologous Chromosomes..Everyone has 2 pairs of each chromosome, each pair being referred to as homologues or homologous chromosomes, one from the mother, and the other from the father.

genes at the same site = homozygous
genes at different sites = heterozygous
