WHAT DOES SEX CHROMOSOME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Allosome

An allosome is a sex chromosome that differs from an ordinary autosome in form, size, and behavior. The human sex chromosomes are a typical pair of allosomes. These chromosomes determine the sex of an individual when reproducing. Allosomes are also referred to as sex chromosomes or idiosomes. Autosomes differ from allosomes because autosomes appear in pairs whose members have the same form but differ from other pairs in a diploid cell, whereas members of an allosome pair may differ from one another and thereby determine sex.
