Autosomes refer to individual chromosomes that are not involved in determining an individual's sex. In humans, there are 22 pairs of autosomes.

Yes, individuals with Down syndrome have an X chromosome, just like everyone else. Down syndrome is typically caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21, resulting in three copies instead of the usual two. This condition is not directly related to the X chromosome, which is one of the sex chromosomes involved in determining biological sex. Both males and females with Down syndrome have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (for males) or two X chromosomes (for females).
Yes, not all genes located on the X chromosome control female sexual characteristics. The SRY gene on the Y chromosome is responsible for male sexual development. However, genes on the X chromosome like the XIST gene are involved in the regulation of X chromosome inactivation, a process critical for normal development in females.
Chromosome 19 has a blue/green gene. Chromosome 15 has a brown/blue gene. The genetics of eye color are more complex than realized previously, and more than one gene is involved in determining eye color.
The X chromosome contains genes that play a role in both male and female development, but the Y chromosome carries the key sex-determining gene, SRY. This gene triggers the development of male characteristics. In the absence of the Y chromosome, two X chromosomes typically result in a female.
Holandric genes are genes located on the Y chromosome and are passed down from father to son. These genes are specific to males and play a role in determining male-specific traits and characteristics. Examples of holandric genes include those involved in determining certain aspects of male sexual development.
