Each identical side of a chromosome is the 

• centromere
• chromatin
• centriole
• chromatid

How many DNA molecules make up a chromosome?

• 1
• 2
• 23
• 46

Autosomes are

• chromosomes found in autotrophs, only
• chromosomes that automatically correct all errors in the DNA
• chromosomes that determine traits other than sex
• chromosomes that determine the sex of the individual

Cells that contain two sets of chromosomes (example: 2n = 46) are called

• gametes

• haploid

• diploid

• chromatin

Gametes that contain one set of chromosomes (example: n = 23) are called

• diploid

• autosomes

• haploid

• somatic cells

Body cells are also known as

• prokaryotic cells

• somatic cells

• gametes

• sperm or egg

Determine the sex of an individual and are represented by XX or XY

• sex chromosomes

• autosomes

• somatic cells

• diploid cells

A pair of identical chromosomes shown in a karyotype, one inherited from mom, and one inherited from dad are called

• sister chromotids
• centromeres
• homologous chromosomes
• autosomes
