Is there an X or Y chromosome in an egg?
An egg will have the X chromosome and the sperm will have an X or Y chromosome.
What does a person with an X chromosome and a Y chromosome have?
male
Why does the X chromosome affect an organisms phenotype more than the Y chromosome?
The X chromosome contains considerably more genetic material than the Y chromosome.
How many times bigger is the x chromosome from the y chromosome?
In terms of base pairs, the X chromosome is about 155 megabases (million bases), and the Y is about 57 megabases. Note that there can be variation in the lengths of Y chromosomes between men, due to different amounts of constitutive heterochromatin on the long arm. That is, the long arm of the Y contains repeated sequences. The number of these sequences can be different between individuals, thus the size of the chromosome can be different between men.
What kind of chromosomes do male transmit to offspring?
Males transmit one X chromosome and one Y chromosome to their offspring. There are very few genes carried on the Y chromosome.
How do boys chromosomes differ from girls?
Boys have one x chromosome and a y chromosome, whereas a girl has two x chromosomes.
Is there an X or Y chromosome in an egg?
An egg will have the X chromosome and the sperm will have an X or Y chromosome.
Why is x chromosome called x?
An X chromosome is known as an X chromosome based on its shape, which resembles an X. The Y chromosome resembles a Y.
Does an x chromosome looks the same as a y chromosome?
No. An 'X' chromosome looks like an 'X'. The 'Y' chromosome looks like a deformed 'X'. It is noticeably different to an 'X' chromosome. Also, the 'Y' chromosome is only a third of the size of an 'X' chromosome - an 'X' chromosome is 155 million base pares, while the 'Y' chromosome is only 58 million base pairs.
Is an x chromosome and chromosome the same thing?
An x chromosome is specifically a feminine chromosome. With a x and y chromosome its male, with a x and x, it is a female.
Men have one of y?
The y chromosome. The chromosome pair that determine sex (gender) can have x and y chromosomes; men have one X and one Y chromosome, women have to X chromosomes.
The Y chromosome is larger and carries fewer genes than the X chromosome?
No. The Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome. There are only about 70 active genes on the Y chromosome and many more deleteriously mutated one. The X chromosome contains many more active genes and only crosses over marginally with the Y chromosome.

What are the x and y chromazones?
The Y chromosome is the male sex chromosome, but males also carry a X chromosome from their mother. XY. The female sex chromosome is the Y chromosome; YY is female. ( generally, as sex chromosome number in both sexes can vary )
What does it means when the X Chromosome is higher than the Y Chromosome?
The X chromosome is stood on a yellow pages
