Where is a barr body found?
A Barr body is the inactivated X chromosome that is usually found in the nuclei of female somatic cells. It can also occur in males when there is an abnormality and the male is XXY instead of the normal XY, a condition known as Klinefelter's syndrome. In this case, the male somatic cells would also contain a Barr body. --- The Barr body is the highly-condensed chromatin structure taken up by an inctivated X chromosome. The number of Barr bodies equal the number of inactive chromosomes.
Which chromosome is found only in males?
Y chromosome
What are xx chromosomes called?
XX chromosomes are called sex chromosomes and are typically found in females.
What chromosomes make up the 23rd set of chromosomes in a human male?
Both have an x chromosome. Girls are XX and boys are XYIn Human being Y- chromosome is a determinig factor for maleness.http://wiki.answers.com/Is_a_x_chromosome_a_girl_or_boy_baby#ixzz18JCTmFoU
What chromosome is ADHD found on?
The precise chromosome is not known; future research may yield results.
Chromosomes found in somatic cells and are perfectly matched in males and females?
In both males and females there are 22 perfectly matched chromosomes. The somatic cells in humans total 46 chromosomes. Females get the XX sex chromosome while males get the Y chromosome.
Why can't a female inherit a gene found on the y chromosome?
Because females don't have any Y chromosomes. Females are XX; males are XY (one of each).
Is fragile x syndrome sex linked?
Yes. It is found as a mutation on the X chromosome (a sex chromosome) so it is sex linked. The gene for Fragile X is carried on the X chromosome. Because both males (XY) and females (XX) have at least one X chromosome, both can pass on the mutated gene to their children.
Why is colorblindness found to be inherited into males more than females?
Most color deficiencies are sex linked, meaning the defective genes are on the sex chromosome. In this case, the X chromosome is affected. Since males only have one X chromosome, all males with this particular defective genes will have this condition. Females have 2 X's, it's unlikely that both X's have bad genes at the same time.
What chromosome is the language gene found in?
Chromosome 7
Which chromosome is found only in males?
Y chromosome

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.
The allele for color blindness is found on the x chromosome more males suffer from red-green color blindness tha females because?
Plato Users: A and B.
Does ALD affect specific populations of people more so than other populations?
No. It seems to be found in most groups equality. Since it is found on the X chromosome, males have one copy. Females have two copies. Since it is found on the X, females have a "good" gene that sort of covers the defective one. Males don't have that chance. So many more males have this than females.
The body cells of human males have what two chromosomes?
The body cells of most humans have 46 chromosomes, which can be arranged into 23 pairs. One chromosome in each pair comes from the mother and the other chromosome comes from the father. Of the 23 pairs, 22 pairs (the body chromosomes, or autosomes) are the same in males and females. The 23 rd pair, called the sex chromosomes, is different in males and females. In females, the sex chromosomes are the same and are called X chrosomes. In males, the sex chromosomes are different. One is an X chromosome (inherited from your mother or your father) and the other is a smaller chromosome called the Y chromosome (inherited from your father). So, the two chromosomes which are found in human males (but not human females) are the sex chromosomes, X and Y. See: http://biology.about.com/library/weekly/aa091103a.htm
