autosomes and sex chromosomes ( function)
Answers
An autosome is a chromosome in a eukaryotic cell that is not a sex chromosome. ... Other animals, like birds, use a different system of sex chromosomes. During the process of meiosis which creates eukaryotic sex cells, the sex cells “remix” DNA between their two copies of each autosome in the process of crossing over.
Answer:
Autosomes differ from sex chromosomes, which make up the 23rd pair of chromosomes in all normal human cells and come in two forms, called X and Y. Autosomes control the inheritance of all an organism's characteristics except the sex-linked ones, which are controlled by the sex chromosomes.
Chromosomes carry the basic genetic material DNA which is responsible to provide hereditary characteristics and genetic information to the various cells. The cellular functions are important for the growth and survival of living organisms.
