Ms.Sue I am sorry for not understanding you but I read your post and I still don't understand what the answer is. All I was asking for was a yes or no answer to my question.
Autosomes are _______ chromosomes.
A. abnormal
B. homologous
C. haploid
D. nonsex
Is it B?
The site I copied for you said they are nonsex chromosomes.
Ok thank you Ms.Sue and again sorry for asking you the same thing over and over again.
I apologize.
No problem. And you are welcome. :-)
To determine the correct answer to the question "Autosomes are _______ chromosomes," you can follow these steps:
1. Read the question carefully to understand what it is asking. In this case, it is asking for the term that describes autosomes.
2. Review what you know about the term "autosomes." Autosomes are chromosomes that do not determine an individual's sex. They are present in both males and females.
3. Examine the options provided: A, B, C, and D.
- Option A: "abnormal" - This term refers to chromosomes that deviate from the usual structure or function, which is not accurate for autosomes.
- Option B: "homologous" - This term describes pairs of chromosomes that are similar in size, shape, and gene content, which is correct for autosomes because humans have 22 pairs of homologous autosomes.
- Option C: "haploid" - This term refers to cells that contain only one set of chromosomes, which is not accurate for autosomes.
- Option D: "nonsex" - This term describes chromosomes that are not involved in determining an individual's sex, which is correct for autosomes as they are distinct from the sex chromosomes.
4. Evaluate each option's accuracy based on your knowledge of the term "autosomes." In this case, only option B and option D are accurate.
5. Compare the options that are potentially correct (B and D) and determine which one accurately describes autosomes. In this case, the correct answer is option B, "homologous," since autosomes are pairs of homologous chromosomes.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Autosomes are _______ chromosomes" is B.
