My teacher either doesnt word her questions right, or I'm just not getting it..
She asks:
What is an autosome? How many autosomes in a human body cell? A human gamete?
My Answer:
An autosome is a chromosome that is not involved in sex determination. There are 22 pairs of autosomes in a human cell, and 1 pair of gametes.
**Could someone tell me if this is what she wanted to hear?
---------------------
Another question is:
What is a sex chromosome? How many sex chromosomes in a human body cell? A human gamete?
My answer:
A sex chromosome is the X or Y chromosome that determines the sex of a person...(didnt finish)
**If I could get some help on that one too, it would be great!
