autosomes: the 22 pairs of human chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes.
autotrophic: certain bacteria that synthesize their own foods.
axon: the long extension of a neuron.

autosomes The chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes. Each member of an autosome pair (in diploid organisms) is of similar length and in the genes it carries.

5 pairs of autosomes and, usually,
2 X chromosomes.
These animals are hermaphrodites, producing both sperm and eggs.
Most of the time they fertilize themselves, so that any recessive alleles quickly become homozygous and affect the phenotype.

Genome -- all of the genes carried by a single gamete; the DNA content of an individual, which includes all 44 autosomes, 2 sex chromosomes, and the mitochondrial DNA. Genotype -- genetic constitution of an organism.

A library prepared from a female donor will contain DNA from the X chromosome in an amount equivalent to the autosomes, but will completely lack Y chromosomal DNA.

A human has 46 chromosomes: (22 pairs of autosomes, and 2 sex chromosomes). At present estimate, humans have approximately 20,000-25,000 genes and share 98.

Unlike the twenty-two pairs of autosomes, there is no recombination between the X and most of the Y chromosome.

The genome of Drosophila contains 4 pairs of chromosomes: an X/Y pair, and three autosomes labeled 2, 3, and 4. The fourth chromosome is so tiny that it is often ignored. The genome contains about 165 million bases and approximately 14,000 genes.

There are 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. By present estimates, humans have approximately 20,000-25,000 genes and share 98.4% of their DNA with their closest living evolutionary relatives, the two species of chimpanzees.[7] ...

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total) chromosomes. Two of these are called sex chromosomes, the other 44 are called autosomes.

subtelomeric region of each the X and Y chromosomes, the pseudoautosomal region. These segments are homologous.
Genes in the pseudoautosomal region are not sex-linked.
Recombination frequencies in this region are 20 fold higher than on autosomes.
