Solution

The correct option is A Autosome
Chromosomes in humans can be divided into two types, autosomes, and sex chromosome. The sex chromosomes carry the characters linked to a particular trait. The autosomes contain the rest of the genetic hereditary information. Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes), giving a total of 46 per cell.
So, the correct answer is option A.
