Autosomes, or autosomal DNA, make up 22 pairs of chromosomes in your body. Small variations in these genes determine your genetic makeup and whether you inherit certain traits and conditions.
Autosomal dominant is one way that genetic traits pass from one parent to their child. When a trait is autosomal dominant, only one parent needs to have an altered gene to pass it on. Half of the children of a parent with an autosomal trait will get that trait.
An autosome is a chromosome in a eukaryotic cell that is not a sex chromosome. Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have many chromosomes in which they package their DNA. This allows eukaryotes to store much more genetic information.
Autosomal dominant or dominance is a pattern of genetic inheritance that occurs within an autosome (non-sex chromosome). The way we look and function is most commonly the result of dominance of one parental gene over the other.
Autosomal inheritance is a way for genetic conditions to pass from parent to child. It describes genetic variants that sit within one of the autosomes, which are a type of...
