Traits determined by recessive genes located on the x chromosomes are said to be?
Some traits are determined by recessive genes on the X chromosomes. Many times these are genetic disorders and are called recessive genes.
What is a cell with paired chromosomes called?
Somatic (diploid) cells have pairs of chromosomes. They have 46 chromosomes, making 23 pairs. All the cells in the human body are diploid cells, with the exception of the gametes (sperm and ova).Gametes are sex cells (eggs and sperm), they only have 23 chromosomes total. This is because they will combine with another gamete to form an embryo that will have 46.
All chromosomes except the X and Y sex chromosomes are called?
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
What are the chromosomes in each numbered group of a human karyotype called?
Chromosomes 1-22 are called autosomes.
What are the matching pairs of chromosomes in the diploid cell called?
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
What are the matching pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell called?
Homologous chromosomes (I beleive)
What are matching sets of chromosomes called?

Which best describes chromosomes in humans?
Humans have 22 pairs of homologous non-sex chromosomes (called autosomes), and one pair of sex chromosomes, making a total of 46 chromosomes in a genetically normal human.Each member of a pair is inherited from one of the two parents. In addition to the 22 pairs of homologous autosomes, female humans have a homologous pair of sex chromosomes (two Xs), while males have an X and a Y chromosome.
