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.
The longest of the autosomes is referred to as chromosome 1, the next largest as chromosome 2, and so on, down to the smallest autosomes, chromosomes 21 and 22. Each cell nucleus contains two copies of each autosome (44 chromosomes), plus two sex chromosomes (either two Xs or an X and a Y) for a total of 46.
