no, homologous chromosomes are only found in diploid

i'll try and explain

our diploid cells contain one chromosome from each parent
so we all have 2 copies (homologous) of each autosomal chromosome and one sex chromosome from each, so XX or XY

so 23 pairs (22 autosomal, 1 sex)

however meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes and thats why cells become haploid

and two haploid cells fuse to form a diploid zygote
