Autosome - Wikipedia
An autosome is any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome. [1] The members of an autosome pair in a diploid cell typically have the same morphology (homomorphic), unlike those in allosomal (sex chromosome) pairs, which may have different structures.

Autosome - National Human Genome Research Institute
An autosome is one of the numbered chromosomes, as opposed to the sex chromosomes. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY). Autosomes are numbered roughly in relation to their sizes.

Autosome - Definition, Function and Quiz | Biology Dictionary
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.

Autosome | Definition & Facts | Britannica
Autosome, any of the numbered or nonsex chromosomes of an organism. Humans have 22 sets of autosomes; they are referred to numerically according to a traditional sort order based on size, shape, and other properties.

Autosome | NIH
An autosome is one of the numbered chromosomes, as opposed to the sex chromosomes. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY). Autosomes are numbered roughly in relation to their sizes.

What Is an Autosome? Definition, Function, and Examples
An autosome is any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome. In humans, that means 22 of the 23 chromosome pairs, numbered 1 through 22, are autosomes. The remaining pair consists of the sex chromosomes, X and Y in males or two X chromosomes in females.

Autosomal DNA: Definition, Dominant, Recessive, Test, Examples - Healthline
Autosomes and sex chromosomes contain a total of about 20,000 genes. These genes are essentially 99.9 percent identical in every human being. But small variations in these genes determine the...

AUTOSOME Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
In humans the first 22 chromosome pairs are autosomes (nonsex chromosomes), which are similar in males and females.

Autosome - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Autosomal DNA includes all genetic material that is not located on the X or Y chromosome and not mtDNA. Most of the DNA in our cells is of the autosomal type. Unlike Y and mtDNA, which are present in single copy in our genome, autosomal DNA exists in duplicate.

Autosome | Research
An autosome is one of the numbered chromosomes, as opposed to the sex chromosomes. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY). Autosomes are numbered roughly in relation to their sizes.
