What are the homologous chromosomes and where does the an individual receive homologous chromosomes from?
Two chromosomes are homologous if they have the same genes at the same loci (position). In a homologous pair, there is one chromosome from the mother (maternal) and one from the father (paternal).
In humans what are the chromosome pairs 1 through 22 called?
Chromosome pair 23 in humans is the pair of sex chromosomes. In females, both sex chromosomes are the X sex chromosome, and in human males one sex chromosome is the X and the other is the Y chromosome.
What is one of a pair of chromosomes that are involved in sex determination of an idividual?
The pair of chromosomes involved in sex determination is called sex chromosomes, rest of the chromosomes are called autosomes.
Which chromosomes determine the sex of an individual?
There are two kinds of chromosomes the determine the sex of a child. The X and Y chromosomes. A male has an X an Y and a woman has an X and an X. When a man sperm meets with the unfertilized egg, half the DNA strand of a male(containing wither an x OR y chromosome) and half a DNA strand of a woman (containing ONLY a X chromosome) come together to determine the gender of the baby. As states above, xy=male. xx=female.It is the chromosomes of the father that determines the gender of the child.
How many chromosomes are in 1 pair of chromosomes?
There are 46 chromosomes (condensed threads of genetic material formed from chromatin as a cell prepares to divide), and 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body.
One pair of chromosomes that determine the sex of an individual?
sex chromosome
One of the pair of chromosomes that determines the sex of an individual?
The 23rd pair in a karyotype shows if it will be male or female
Which chromosomes in mammals determine the sex of an individual?
The sex chromosomes, X and Y, determine the gender of one's offspring. An X and a Y is a boy, and 2 X's is a girl.
What are the homologous chromosomes and where does the an individual receive homologous chromosomes from?
Two chromosomes are homologous if they have the same genes at the same loci (position). In a homologous pair, there is one chromosome from the mother (maternal) and one from the father (paternal).
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.
In humans what are the chromosome pairs 1 through 22 called?
Chromosome pair 23 in humans is the pair of sex chromosomes. In females, both sex chromosomes are the X sex chromosome, and in human males one sex chromosome is the X and the other is the Y chromosome.
What are diploid chromosomes?
A pair of chromosomes, one from the mother and one from the father that are similar.
What is one of a pair of chromosomes that are involved in sex determination of an idividual?
The pair of chromosomes involved in sex determination is called sex chromosomes, rest of the chromosomes are called autosomes.
Whether a human is male or female is determined by his or her?
Their genotype. The human has 46 chromosomes, or two pairs of 23 chromosomes (haploid) where one pair of these chromosomes contain the genetic information that determines a human's gender. The female possesses a pair of chromosomes labelled as XX. The male possesses a pair of chromosomes labelled as XY. In the case of a male, the Y gene is inherited from the father (X from the mother) and does not contain the usual genotypes that determine an individual's appearance etc. Instead it contains a few genes that activate body functions in the male such as producing hormones in the testes, or enabling the male to possess a deeper voice etc.

What pairs of human chromosomes are autosomes?
Autosomes are the chromosomes which do not determine the sex of the offspring. for example, in humans, there are 22 pairs of autosomes, and one pair of sex chromosomes. Autosomes are chromosomes 1-22, and the sex chromosomes are chromosome 23.
