Autosomes are what kind of chromosomes?
non-sex chromosomes
What is one of a pair of chromosomes that are involved in sex determination of an idividual?
The pair of chromosomes involved in sex determination is called sex chromosomes, rest of the chromosomes are called autosomes.
How does a gene on one of the human sex chromosomes cause embryos to develop into males?
just nor
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 do you call the genes that are located on the sex chromosomes?
genes located on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes. In humans, there are two types of sex chromosomes: X and Y chromosomes.Genes located on the X chromosome are called X-linked and genes located on the Y chromosome are called Y-linked chromosomes.
What happens when a fetus has 3 cromizones instead of 2?
a "normal" human being should have a total of 46 chromosomes. 23 from mom, 23 from dad. if something goes wrong during meiosis, the chromosomes may not be separated normally and a gamete (sex cell, known as sperm or egg) will have either too few or too many chromosomes. this is known as aneuploidy. the effects of aneuploidy on the zygote will vary depending on what chromosomes you are talking about. in the case of chromosome #21, having one extra is called "trisomy 21" which leads to the condition known as down syndrome. chromosome pairs 1-22 are a person's autosomes. the 23rd pair are sex chromosomes. aneuploidy affecting the sex chromosomes can have various effects, depending on what chromosomes are inherited. as you can see, the effects of aneuploidy depend on the specific chromosome number/pair. aneuploidy usually is not fatal.
What information is shown by a karyotype?
1.sex determination2.genetic disorders( i.e : aneuploidy,....)3.normal chromosomes structure
How many chromosomes are present in the abnormal karyotype?
In a regular human body cell, there are 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. Of these, 2 are sex chromosomes, so named because they determine the sex of the individual. The other 44 (22 in each set) are called autosomes. Any exceptions to the above are instances of aneuploidy. They are relatively rare.
How are body cells different from sex cells?
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
How do autosomal chromosomes different from sex chromosomes?
autosomal chromosomes carry diverse info sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex ---- ok, that is some other dude's answer, now here is mine: the autosomal is all the chromosomes, except for the sex chromosomes. so, in a sense, the autosomal has nothing to do with the sex chromosomes. sex chromosomes determine the offspring's sex, as the guy above said it. autosomal is simply all of the other chromosomes ----- For A+ the answer is "Autosomal chromosomes carry diverse information; sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex."
What are the other 44 chromosomes that are not related to sex called?
The 22 pairs of chromosomes that aren't the sex chromosomes are known as the autosomal chromosomes. The X and Y chromosomes are the sex chromosomes.
Autosomes are what kind of chromosomes?
non-sex chromosomes
Why is it important that sex cells have half the number of original chromosomes?
It can cause defects to the fetus
How are autosomes similar to sex chromosomes?
Sex chromosomes and autosomes are from the same chromosome, The chromosome has 46 chromosomes and 2 of them are sex chromosomes and the rest are called autosomes
Do autosomal chromosome differ from sex chromosome?
autosomal chromosomes carry diverse info sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex ---- ok, that is some other dude's answer, now here is mine: the autosomal is all the chromosomes, except for the sex chromosomes. so, in a sense, the autosomal has nothing to do with the sex chromosomes. sex chromosomes determine the offspring's sex, as the guy above said it. autosomal is simply all of the other chromosomes ----- For A+ the answer is "Autosomal chromosomes carry diverse information; sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex."
What kind of conditions is carried on a chromosome other than sex chromosomes?
This would be just a genetic or inherited condition.
All chromosomes except the X and Y sex chromosomes are called?
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
