X and Y chromosoms determine whether or not an offspring is a male or female.
Chromosomes come in pairs. Boys have an X and a Y chromosome pair; girls have an X and an X chromosome pair.
The X and Y chromosomes are called the "Sex Chromosomes". Both the X and Y chromosome are part of the "sex-determining system" that helps determine the sex characteristics in humans. In the system, females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).
All chromosomes that are not either X or Y are called autosomes.
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
A child with X and Y chromosomes typically identifies as male. This combination of chromosomes determines male biological development, including physical traits such as testes and the production of testosterone.
No, animals do not have both X and Y chromosomes. In most animals, males have XY chromosomes and females have XX chromosomes.
The chromosomes that determine an individual's biological sex are called the X and Y chromosomes.
The human X and Y chromosomes are:both present in every somatic cell of males and females.approximately equal in size.almost entirely homologous, despite their different names.called "sex chromosomes" because they determine an individual's sex.
the X and Y chromosomes
The sex chromosomes are represented by X and Y chromosomes. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of the Y chromosome determines male physical characteristics.
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 the cytological terminology x and y chromosomes are identified as sex chromosomes. In human being these chromosomes are responsible for determination of sex in the offspring.
Sex linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes.
