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 a human, 22 pairs of chromosomes are autosomes, and the other pair determines the gender of the human. Females have two X chromosomes, whereas males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome. Autosomes are numbered according to their size.
