 Key PointsHumans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 in total):

  • 22 pairs of autosomes – These chromosomes control general body traits such as height, eye color, and metabolism.

  • 1 pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY) – This determines an individual’s biological sex (XX for females, XY for males).

Thus, Twenty two pairs of chromosomes are called Autosomes.

Hint

  • Zygote refers to the fertilized egg cell formed when a sperm and an egg combine.
  • DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the genetic material inside chromosomes that carries hereditary information.
