SHOW/ACTIVITY SCHEDULE. The Kentucky Horse Park lives up to its reputation as the place to get close to horses as our daily show and activity schedule demonstrates. Home to many different breeds, large and small, the park introduces you to the world of the horse.
An autosome is any of the numbered chromosomes, as opposed to the sex chromosomes. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (the X and Y). Autosomes are numbered roughly in relation to their sizes.
Humans have a total of 46 chromosomes in each body cell; 44 of these are autosomes. You get one set of 22 autosomes from your mom and another set of 22 from your dad. It is often easier to think about our autosomes in pairs because even though we have 44 autosomes, we actually only have 22 types. We have two copies of each type of autosome, one from each parent. Two chromosomes of the same type, called homologous chromosomes, are the same size and shape and have the same genes. Our paired autosomes are numbered 1 through 22.
