| chromosome |
The DNA in a cell is divided into structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes are large enough to be seen under a microscope. In humans, all cells other than germ cells usually contain 46 chromosomes: 22 pairs of autosomes and either a pair of X chromosomes (in females) or an X chromosome and aY chromosome (in males). In each pair of chromosomes, one chromosome is inherited from an individual's father and one from his or her mother.
