Definition
A chromosome or body structure that differs from the standard or typical type, especially in size, shape, or genetic content.
Etymology
From 'hetero-' (different) + 'some' (from Greek 'soma,' meaning body). Often refers to sex chromosomes (like X and Y) that differ from autosomes.
Kelly Says
Your sex chromosomes are heterosomes—the Y chromosome is tiny and weird compared to all your other chromosomes, yet it determines whether you develop as male or female!
