I agree that the answer is "homologous".

The homologous pairs of chromosomes are the matching chromosomes -- one from each parent. These chromosomes match in that they have information about the same traits. However, they don't have to agree about the form of the trait.

Homologous pairs are the same size, have the centromere in the same location, and have the same banding patterns.
