Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autosomes are chromosomes that do not determine an individual's gender. They exist in pairs in both males and females, and contain genes responsible for traits such as eye color, height, and susceptibility to diseases. In contrast, sex chromosomes (choice B) are responsible for determining an individual's gender. Homologous chromosomes (choice C) are pairs of chromosomes that are similar in size, shape, and genetic content, and are typically involved in the process of meiosis. Linked chromosomes (choice D) are chromosomes that are physically connected to one another, such as those found on the same arm of a chromosome pair.
