autosoomsed
Autosoomsed is the plural form of the term for autosomes, the chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes. In humans and many other diploid organisms, autosoomsed come in pairs and carry the majority of the organism’s genetic information. Humans have 22 pairs of autosoomsed (44 autosomes) and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY), for a total of 46 chromosomes in most cells.
Structure and inheritance: Each autosome exists as part of a homologous pair; one member is inherited from
Disease, variation, and nomenclature: Variation in autosoomsed underlies most genetic traits and disorders. Autosomal dominant conditions
Relation to sex chromosomes: Autosoomsed are contrasted with the sex chromosomes, which determine biological sex in
