Question

compared to the sex chromosomes, how many genes do the autosomes carry? more genes fewer genes even number of genes odd number of genes

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In genetics (a subfield of Biology, which is under Natural Science), autosomes are the non - sex chromosomes. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. Autosomes carry a much larger number of genes compared to sex chromosomes. The options about even or odd number of genes are not relevant to the comparison between autosomes and sex chromosomes in terms of gene quantity, and "fewer genes" is incorrect as autosomes have more genes.

Answer:

A. more genes
