Not really...they both are sex chromosome...each of them describes the sex of the living thing.

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.
Does the x chromosome determine personality?
High unlikely. Personality is a complex trait which is probably a combination of genes (carried on more than just the X chromosome) and environment. What no one is certain of is the relative effect of each one. So, are genes more important in determining your personality than your environment (eg. your upbringing)? We don't know.
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.
Are men x or y chromosomes?
There is much more DNA in the X chromosome. The Y has genes for addition growth and most of the testosterone that the body makes. A person can live with only one X but here are no people without the X and only the Y.
A recessive gene located on the X chromosome is the cause of hemophilia in affected individuals. Males are more likely to have hemophilia than females because?
Males only have one copy of the X chromosome
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.
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.
Most sex-linked genes are found on which chromosome x y?
Many sex-linked genes are found on the X chromosome. More than 100 sex-linked genetic disorders have now been mapped to the X chromosome. The human Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome and appears to contain only few genes.
What does it means when the X Chromosome is higher than the Y Chromosome?
The X chromosome is stood on a yellow pages

Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex link trait?
Because the gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, so it will occur in males more frequently than in females.

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.
Why males are afflicted with hemophilia more than females?
Because males have the chromosome XY. And Hemophilia attacks the X chromosomes, so if the disorder gets to the X chromosome of the male, it doesnt have another X chromosome to back it up like females do.(XX)
Are men x or y chromosomes?
There is much more DNA in the X chromosome. The Y has genes for addition growth and most of the testosterone that the body makes. A person can live with only one X but here are no people without the X and only the Y.
A recessive gene located on the X chromosome is the cause of hemophilia in affected individuals. Males are more likely to have hemophilia than females because?
Males only have one copy of the X chromosome
Why are traits controlled by recessive alleles on the X chromosome are more common in males than in females?
Males only have one X chromosome, so even if the gene on that chromosome is recessive there is no other gene that could dominate it. Females have two X chromosomes, so if the gene on that chromosome is recessive there is still a chance that the gene on the other chromosome could be dominate and override it.
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.
