Question

Differentiate autosomes and allosomes

Answer 1

Autosomes differ from allosomes because autosomes appear in pairs whose members have the same form but differ from other pairs in a diploid cell, whereas members of an allosome pair may differ from one another and thereby determine sex

Answer 2

Answer:

Autosomes are the chromosomes in a species that are different from sex chromosomes. For example, humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes that makes it 23 pairs of overall chromosomes in human body.

An Allosome, on the other hand, is a chromosome that differs from autosome in many aspects like, size and behavior.

Human sex chromosomes are typical examples of allosomes.
