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.
A normal human cell containing 44 autosomes and 2 x chromosomes is what?
A normal human cell with 44 autosomes and 2 X chromosomes is a female cell. Typically, females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. The autosomes are the non-sex chromosomes that come in pairs, with humans having 22 pairs of autosomes.
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.
How many autosomes are there in a human sex cell?
A human gamete has 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. However, special cases may arise due to aneuploidy which can result in two copies of an autosome, e.g. chromosome 21, 18, etc. or the non-disjunction of sex chromosomes, X and/or Y.
What is the term for chromosomes that do not determine sex?
Chromosomes that aren't sex chromosomes are called autosomes. There are 44 autosomes in a normal human somatic cell and 22 in normal human gametes. The only chromosomes that affect the sex of an organism is the X and/or Y chromosome. XX = Female and XY = Male.
