4. There are 22 homologous pairs of autosomes in humans. Each autosome has several genes each of which performs certain unique functions. Different cell types in a eukaryote express a different combination of genes that enables cellular functions in Allosomes
5. An allosome is a sex chromosome that differs in size, form and behaviour from an autosome. Humans have one pair of allosomes These chromosomes contain genes that determine the biological sex of an organism.
