Examine the chromosomes labeled x and y how does these two chromosomes compare?
Chromosomes X and Y do not truly make up a homologous pair. They act similarly in their roles, but they are not homologous (the same). The X chromosome in humans is much longer than the Y chromosome and also contains many more genes.
How do X and Y chromosome differ?
men have a x and y chromosome while women have two x chromosomes the y chromosomes determine the sex of the baby

Why might missing sections of the X or Y chromosome be a bigger problem in males than deletions would be in one of the X chromosomes in females?
Females carry two X chromosomes and no Y chromosomes. so if one is missing a section, the other will make up for it. For males, who only have one X and one Y chromosome, there is no overlap.
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

The genes on the x and y chromosomes are called what?
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
What are the X and Y chromosomes called?
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).
How many chromosomes do cats do?
