In each homologous pair one chromosome is from mother and the other is from father, thus we conclude that in a diploid human cell 23 chromosomes are from father and 23 chromosomes are from mother and collectively they form 23 pairs. Both the chromosomes of each pair are always identical.

Then you need to go to Vet school for four years to get your doctorate. Vet school is the single hardest graduate program to get into (much harder than medical school). There are only 28 Vet schools in the US. They reserve all but a few slots for students in their state or a state that has a contract with them -- so there are probably only a couple of Vet schools that would consider you.
The American Veterinary Medical Association, or AVMA, reports that there are 28 veterinary schools that meet accreditation standards set by the associationâs education council. Before entering veterinary school, however, you should complete a bachelorâs degree from an accredited university. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that all veterinary schools require up to 90 undergraduate college hours for admission, but that some may not require a degree.
