Somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes and can be inherited?
true
Autosomes are what kind of chromosomes?
non-sex chromosomes
What is the difference between sex chromosomes and autosomes?
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
How many of sex chomosome and autosome are in a human somatic cell?
44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes are present in human somatic cells .
Somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes and can be inherited?
true
Autosomes are what kind of chromosomes?
non-sex chromosomes
Are mutations in somatic cells heritable?
Nothing in somatic cells is inheritable unless it shows up in the gametes as well. As such, if a somatic cell experiences a mutation, it can only affect that cell and any cell it creates.
All chromosomes except the X and Y sex chromosomes are called?
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
Does somatic cells contain sex chromosomes?
Yes ,they do .
What is the difference between sex chromosomes and autosomes?
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
What is the difference between somatic and gametic cells?
a germline mutation is one the was passed on to offspring because the egg or sperm cell was mutated. a somatic mutation is a mutation of the somatic cells (all cells except sex cells) that cannot be passed on to offspring.
Is a zygote somatic?
Yes; it is not a sex cell and it has 2n=46 chromosomes, whereas sex cells have n=23 chromosomes.
Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
Compare and constrast autosomes and sex chromosome?
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters and sex chromosomes help in the determination of sex at the time of gametic union to form the zygote.
How many of sex chomosome and autosome are in a human somatic cell?
44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes are present in human somatic cells .
How many chromosomes are there in each somatic cell?
That depends on the organism you're looking at. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes per normal somatic cell. 46 chromosomes = 22 homolog pairs + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men)
