Solution
Human sperm:
Human sperm is a male gamete that is composed of a head, neck, middle piece, and tail.
It is formed by the process of spermatogenesis.
It also possesses a haploid nucleus that is located in the anterior portion of the head.
Autosomes:
All the DNA or genetic material of a cell is located on chromosomes, which is the highest level of organization of DNA.
Autosomes control the inheritance of all the characteristics of organisms except the sex-linked characters.
The inheritance of sex-linked characteristics is controlled by the sex chromosomes.
Autosomes are the 22 pairs of human chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes.
After meiosis, a sperm cell will contain 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome.
