Autosomes come in pairs usually (one from the mother, and one from the father), but, sometimes, as in with genetic disorders, you might find things like trisomies, where you have 3 chromosomes for the same autosome, or monosomies, where you only have 1 instead of two.

Is two more than three?
No, three is more than two.
What is a number greater than 1 that has more than two whole numbers?
If by "has more than two whole numbers" you mean more than two factors, the answer is all composite integers.
What is the adjective referring to the number of chromosomes in a gamete?
Diploids and Haploids. Haploids have one set of chromosomes (Gametes). Diploids have two sets of chromosomes (Zygotes).
Is two quarters more than three quarters?
No, three quarters is more than two quarters.
Which of the following is a composite number?
The one with more than two factors.
What is the difference between sex chromosomes and autosomes?
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
In addition to two sex chromosomes human have 44 other chromosomes called?
autosomes
How many sex chromosomes does each person have?
Two sex chromosomes and 22 pairs of autosomes
What are two types of chromosomes in the body how are they different?
the two types of chromatins are euchromatin and heterochromatin.They are different in that heterochromatin is coiled while euchromatin is not coiled.It is this coiling that makes heterochromatin inactive and therefore less in the nucleus when the nucleus is actively involved in protein synthesis.On the other hand,euchromatin is active because its DNA is exposed. When viewed under a microscope,the two chromatins have different stains.
What are the first twenty two pairs of chromosomes in a human cell called?
They are called autosomes.
How many autosomes are present in a normal human karyotype?
There are 46 chromosomes in a human Karyotype.
How many autosomes are there in a human sex cell?
A human gamete has 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. However, special cases may arise due to aneuploidy which can result in two copies of an autosome, e.g. chromosome 21, 18, etc. or the non-disjunction of sex chromosomes, X and/or Y.
What combination of chromosomes is a female an a male?
Normal females have XX chromosomes and normal males have XY chromosomes. I believe there are two of each in a human body and the rest are autosomes.
Which best describes chromosomes in humans?
Humans have 22 pairs of homologous non-sex chromosomes (called autosomes), and one pair of sex chromosomes, making a total of 46 chromosomes in a genetically normal human.Each member of a pair is inherited from one of the two parents. In addition to the 22 pairs of homologous autosomes, female humans have a homologous pair of sex chromosomes (two Xs), while males have an X and a Y chromosome.
Why do which best describes the sex chromosomes in humans?
Humans have 22 pairs of homologous non-sex chromosomes (called autosomes), and one pair of sex chromosomes, making a total of 46 chromosomes in a genetically normal human.Each member of a pair is inherited from one of the two parents. In addition to the 22 pairs of homologous autosomes, female humans have a homologous pair of sex chromosomes (two Xs), while males have an X and a Y chromosome.
How many autosomes are ther in a gamete?
Normal body cells contain pairs of chromosomes. For example, in humans there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. Of these, 22 pairs (=44 chromosomes) are autosomes and one pair is the sex chromosomes. When gametes are made the number of chromosomes is halved. This is so that when two gametes fuse during fertilisation, the normal chromosome number is restored. So in humans, gametes contain 23 singlechromosomes. Of the 23 single chromosomes in a gamete, 22will be autosomes and one will be a sex chromosome. So, if your question is about humans, the answer is: 22. See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/biology/cellprocesses/celldivisionrev3.shtml
How many chromosomes are found in a diploid human cell?
There are 22 pairs of autosomes in a human somatic cell.
