Human males' genes are more similar to the genes of human females than those of males of other species. Humans have 46 chromosomes; other species have other numbers of chromosomes.

What factors govern the distribution of hair on species such as the human or rat?
Genes and hormones govern the distribution of hair on species such as the human or rat. Other animals such as cats have seasonal hair changes due to a change in hormone levels.
When two lions mate why do the cubs look different to each other?
The sperms and the eggs within the parents might get different genes from each other because two parents have two (or more) genes for each trait and give one each and the child ends up with two- one from each parent. The eggs/sperms could get a different of the genes from either parent. In addition often times a female will be impregnated by two different males within the same batch of eggs, so all of the cubs may not have the same father.
Would a lion attack another lion?
Yes, but mostly males. Males attack each other unusually to take over another males pride. Also, when new males take over the pride they kill the cubs for the females to reproduce them. Also, males fight over females. Also females attack males and other females to steal meals or just to show off. so that's why lions do attack other lions or lionesses.
Why hernia is more common in males?
Your question is wrong as there are various types of hernia . Males have inguinal hernia which can't occur in females .On the other hand females have femoral hernia not present in males .
Why do dogs kill other dogs puppies?
It is to keep their dominance over the area so the other male can't spread its genes
Are human males genes closer to other non human males then woman humans are?
Human male and female genes are more similar to each other than male-human and male-nonhuman genesWITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE Y CHROMOSOME.The Y chromosomes of male humans and the Y chromosome of male primates are more similar to each other than the Y chromosome of human males and the corresponding X chromosome of human females.I don't know how far this disparity extends but it MAY be true for the whole of the mammals.
How does the distance between two genes or a gene and a centromere affect crossover frequencies?
The closer two genes are on a chromosome, the greater the genetic linkage, the farther apart the genes are, the more likely it is that a crossover event will separate them.
Do all the nucleotides in human DNA belong to genes?
No - genes are the parts of DNA that code for a functional product (such as a protein). There are other parts of the DNA which are not genes.
Does Each cell in a human contain a different set of genes?
no. every cell in the body contains the same genes as every other cell in the body
How many genes are there in an average human?
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. 22 pairs are homologous (basically same shape) and the last pair is known as the X and Y sex-determining chromosomes. You were correct that 23 come from mom and the other 23 from dad. With regard to the question about genes, scientists finished sequencing the human genome in 2003. They found that the genome contained only 20,000-25,000 genes. You can read more about it if you search for human genome project on the net.
Could apes be genetically engineered to talk In other words manipulate the genes to give them a human-like voicebox?
no
What three ways are human traits controlled?
Human traits are controlled by a combination of genetic factors (inherited from parents), environmental factors (such as diet and lifestyle), and epigenetic factors (changes in gene expression without changes in the underlying DNA sequence). These factors interact in complex ways to influence the development and expression of human traits.
Genes are called units of?
Genes are part of every human body. They are the subunits of DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Each gene is specifically coded for a different task. Some genes are coded for eye color, while other genes are coded for how short or tall a person may be,
How is DNA different from human to other human?
Humans are typically 99.9% alike to one another, but some genes like the hair color or the eye color are different.
Why do human males have Y chromosomes?
No, males of all species do not have Y chromosomes. Some species use other chromosomes for sex determination. Some birds and insects use a ZW chromosome system for sex determination, for example. There are also species whose sex is environmentally determined. For example, the sex of some reptiles is determined by the temperature at which their eggs are incubated.
Why is a chart that shows human evolution with only males not representative?
A chart showing human evolution with only males would not be representative because it neglects the important roles females played in human evolution. Both males and females contributed to the evolutionary process through reproduction, caregiving, and other behaviors. Excluding females from such a chart overlooks their significant contributions and distorts the full picture of human evolutionary history.
Genes that prevent the other gene from showing traits are called?
Gene genes that keep other genes from showing are known as what
