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)

kinetochore
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.
