Treatment of a Muscle Spasm. When muscle cramps occur, there are several things you can do to help ease them, such as massaging, stretching, or icing the muscle, warming the muscle, or taking a bath with Epsom salt.
An autosome is a chromosome that is not an allosome (a sex chromosome). 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. The DNA in autosomes is collectively known as atDNA or auDNA.
In humans and other mammals, the sex chromosomes are X and Y. Females have two X chromosomes, and males have an X and a Y. Non-sex chromosomes are also called autosomes. Autosomes come in pairs of homologous chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes have the same genes arranged in the same order.
