Question

Disorders can occur as a result of a person missing chromosomes or having too many chromosomes. Which of the following cells would not have a disorder?

sex cell with 24 chromosomes: 22 autosomes and two sex chromosomes


sex cell with 23 chromosomes: 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome


sex cell with 24 chromosomes: 23 autosomes and one sex chromosome


sex cell with 22 chromosomes: 22 autosomes and no sex chromosomes

Answer 1

sex cells with 23 chromosomes: 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sex cells are the gametes and are products of meiosis. These cells have haploid chromosome number. Human sex cells are sperms and egg which serve as male and female gamete respectively. Human sex cells have n = 23 chromosomes. Out of total 23 chromosomes, 22 chromosomes are autosomes while one is the sex chromosome (either X or Y chromosome). Deviation from this pattern can cause any genetic disorder.
