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 chromosome does tay-sachs disease affect?
chromosome 17 The correct answer is chromosome 15
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.
Which genetic disease is it when someone only has a y chromosome but no x chromosome?
That isn't physically possible. All XO individuals are females with Turner's syndrome. Individuals with only a Y chromosome do not survive.
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.
What kind of disease is CGD?
CGD is an X-linked genetic disease, meaning the defective gene is carried on the X chromosome (one of the sex chromosomes). Females have two copies of the X chromosome, whereas males have one X and one Y.
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.
Is it true that x and y are body chromosomes?
X and Y are copies of the chromosomes that determine gender. If someone has two x chromosomes they are female, while if they have one x and one y chromosome they are male. There is a rare disease where someone has one x and one y chromosome (known as XXY males) and these individuals display characteristics of both genders.
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.
Why over woman many get disease scoliosis over man?
1. Scoliosis is NOT a DISEASE. It is a CONDITION. 2. Your question is grammatically incorrect. 3. It probably (don't quote me on this) has something to do with the second X chromosome. (Males have an X and a Y chromosome, and females have two X's)
