Chromosome 22 contains about 693 genes. Some are:
- gene to produce immunoglobulin
- gene to make neurofilaments
- gene for light chains of antibodies
Damaged genes can cause:
- Schizophrenia
- bilateral acoustic neuroma (hearing loss)
- 22q13 deletion syndrome (autism)
- Breast cancer
- amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- neurofibromatosis

What is chromosome 22?
Chromosome 22 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans, carrying genetic information and responsible for determining various traits. It is the second smallest human chromosome, containing around 50-60 million base pairs and around 600-800 genes. Mutations or abnormalities in chromosome 22 can lead to genetic disorders such as DiGeorge syndrome or velocardiofacial syndrome.
A segment of chromosome responsible for a particular characteristic?
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
What are chromosome responsible for?
Life man yeah dude
What cell type could have 22 chromosomes and a Y chromosome?
The cell type that has 22 autosomes and an X sex chromosome is a gamete, such as an egg or sperm cell.
What is the 22 chromosome called?
The 22nd chromosome is called the autosomal chromosome, as it is one of the non-sex chromosomes found in humans. Each cell typically contains two copies of chromosome 22, one inherited from each parent. It contains around 500 to 800 genes involved in various biological functions.

What are chromosome pairs 1-22 referred to as in genetics?
Chromosome pairs 1-22 are referred to as autosomes in genetics.

What chromosome is schizophrenia on?
it's suspected to be on chromosome 22 but they aren't entirely sure yet
What are chromosome responsible for?

How many chromosome of rat?
They have 22 chromosomes.
What cell type could have 22 chromosomes and a Y chromosome?
The cell type that has 22 autosomes and an X sex chromosome is a gamete, such as an egg or sperm cell.
How many autosomes?
Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes, which make up 44 total autosomes in each cell of the body. These autosomes are responsible for carrying the majority of an individual's genetic information, excluding the sex chromosomes.
What are the name of 23 chromosomes in human body?
No, there are 46 chromosomes in one cell. A gamete, or sex cell, has 23 chromosomes because during fertilization, the female and male gametes (egg and sperm, respectively) come together to form a new cell with 46 chromosomes
What genes are responsible for neuronal migration disorders?
The most well characterized genes include DCX on the X chromosome, responsible for double cortex syndrome, and LIS1 on chromosome 17, the first gene identified for lissencephaly.
Why is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome a sperm?
Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.
What element is responsible for determining male sex in humans?
The element responsible for determining male sex in humans is the Y chromosome.
