multiple choice question
how many pairs of autosomes are found in human somatic cells?
23
46
22
1

Explanation:

Human somatic cells have a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes. Among these, 1 pair is sex chromosomes (XX in females, XY in males), and the remaining 22 pairs are autosomes (non - sex chromosomes). So we need to identify the option that represents the number of pairs of autosomes.

Answer:

C. 22 (assuming the options are labeled as A. 23, B. 46, C. 22, D. 1)
