How many chromosomes are there in each somatic cell?

That depends on the organism you're looking at. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes per normal somatic cell. 46 chromosomes = 22 homolog pairs + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men)


A typical human male has the following sex chromosome pair?

The sex chromosomes of a man are XY (vs. XX for a woman).


What is a child with X and Y chromosomes?

Humans that have both an X and a Y chromosome is a male. Females have 2 X chromosomes, and males have one X and one Y


Do males and females have the same number of chromosomes in their sex cells?

Yes, male wolves have the same number of chromosomes as females. There is no research at this time on the DNA found in the X chromosome and the Y chromosome and the Wolf. The Wolf has 78 chromosomes.


What is the mechanism of Lyonization and example of organism that under go it?

The Lyon hypothesis states that in cells with multiple X chromosomes, all but one is inactivated during mammalian embryogenesis. X-inactivation leads to clumped chromatin termed Barr bodies, which are generally considered inert. This formation of Barr bodies is called Lyonization. In humans the X chromosome that is inactivated is determined by chance. In marsupials, however, the paternal X chromosome is always inactivated. Inactivation is achieved by methylation of the X chromosome DNA, a common way in which the cell silences particular genes. Certain animals have their coloring patters dictated by this phenomenon. For example, female Calico cats have unique patterns of fur due to certain areas where different X chromosomes are inactived. The X chromosomes that are activated express different coloring genes and lead to their mosaic fur color. However, there are now reports that women still express many genes from their inactive X chromosomes, and that different women express different genes from the inactive X. Research by Carrel and Willard (2005) indicates that 15% of the genes on the inactive X chromosome are actually active across all women, and a further 10% of genes were switched on in some women. The hypothesis was first stated by Mary F. lyon in 1961 while she was studying the genetic consequences of radiation exposure, and therefore bears her name.

Can human get pregnant from ape?

No you cannot because we have one less pair of chromosomes. Therefore it is impossible for a human to impregnate a monkey.


Do females have xx in every chromosome in their body?

By textbook, the genetic coding in every cell in a human's body should be exactly the same. So, yes, all females have the XX chromosomes in every cell of their body. Males will have the XY chromosome in every cell of their body.

What is a sex chromsomes?

It's the ones that are different between men and women. By convention these are referred to as X and Y chromosomes. In mammals (including us) a woman has XX and a man has XY. And yes, a Y is sort of a broken X. But not quite.

What statement is true of the X chromosomes?

Women have two of them.


Is there a difference between the chromosomes of men and women?

Human females are XX; males are XY.In humans, females have 22 pairs of chromosomes called autosomes, plus one pair of sex chromosomes, consisting of two copies of chromosome X. The X chromosome is between chromosomes 7 and 8 in size. Males have the same autosomes, but their sex chromosomes consist of one X and one relatively tiny Y, which is the shortest chromosome humans have except for chromosomes 21 and 22.Many other animals determine their sex the same way. But birds, moths, and butterflies are the other way round (males are WW; females WZ), and some animals use a different system altogether, such as whether the egg is fertilized or not: honey bees, for example.
