An autosome is any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome.It is commonly known as Somatic chromosome. [1] The members of an autosome pair in a diploid cell have the same morphology, unlike those in allosomal (sex chromosome) pairs, which may have different structures.
All alligators determine the sex of their offspring by the temperature of the nest. Many other sex-determination systems exist. In some species of reptiles, including alligators, some turtles, and the tuatara, sex is determined by the temperature at which the egg is incubated during a temperature-sensitive period. There are no examples of ...
Many other genes found on other autosomes, including WT1, SOX9 and SF1 also play a role in gonadal development. [9] Females: Without testosterone and AMH, the mesonephric ducts degenerate and disappear. The paramesonephric ducts develop into the uterus, fallopian tubes, and upper vagina (the lower vagina develops from the urogenital sinus). [9]
The human genome consists of two copies of each of 23 chromosomes (a total of 46). [1] One set of 23 comes from the mother and one set comes from the father. [1] Of these 23 pairs of chromosomes, 22 are autosomes, and one is a sex chromosome. [1]
The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms.This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype, [1] [2] [3] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope.

The fundamental autosomal number or autosomal fundamental number, FNa [36] or AN, [37] of a karyotype is the number of visible major chromosomal arms per set of autosomes (non-sex-linked chromosomes).
Sex chromosomes (also referred to as allosomes, heterotypical chromosome, gonosomes, heterochromosomes, [1] [2] or idiochromosomes [1]) are chromosomes that carry the genes that determine the sex of an individual. The human sex chromosomes are a typical pair of mammal allosomes. They differ from autosomes in form, size, and
