comparison between autosome and sex chromosome

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

autosomes are somatic chromosomes and sex chromosomes are restricted only to the sex cells which are also called as allosomes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in detail please...

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

ok..

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

autosomes are the chromosomes seen only in somatic cells i.e. other than sex cells

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

allosomes are the chromosomes which are only seen in sex cells.

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

for example human beings have 23 pairs of chromosomes right??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

so out of this 22 pairs are concerned with somatic functions and they are called somatic chromosomes or autosomes

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

and the remaining 1 pair is concerned with sex determination or sex cells and they are called as allosomes

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

ok...?

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

allosomes again have two types of chromosomes they are X and Y

OpenStudy (deepika.comet):

X chromosome is long and is a characteristic feature of bothe males and females but Y in only seen in males So clearly Allosomes are used for sex determination

OpenStudy (anonymous):
