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."


Explain how the expression of genes on sex chromosomes differs from the expression of genes on autosomal chromosomes?

Autosomes are identical to each other whereas sex chromosomes come in two forms, X and y and code for the sex linked characteristics (and some other traits) and are the 24th pair, determine sex.


Are sex chromosomes called homozygous chromosomes?

No, sex chromosomes are not referred to as homozygous chromosomes. Homozygous chromosomes have identical alleles at a specific gene locus, while sex chromosomes determine an individual's biological sex. In humans, sex chromosomes include X and Y chromosomes.

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.
