XX=female
XY=male
the male's second allele determines the sex (gender) of the offspring. If it is a Y, congratulations you're having a boy. If it is an X, you're having a girl. The sex linked genes are always carried along the X chromosome. The female's chromosome is always XX.

What is each individual chromosomes called?
The chromosomes in each pair of chromosomes are called diploid 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).
What is the phase when the individual chromosomes move apart?
It is called Anaphase.
What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
What is the forming of sex cells which contain twenty- three chromosomes is called?
they are called genetics...
What is each individual chromosomes called?
The chromosomes in each pair of chromosomes are called diploid chromosomes.
The stringy structures in the cell nucleus that contain DNA are?
chromosomes
DNA containing structures that determine and transmit heredity characteristics?
The structures in question are called chromosomes. They contain hereditary information that is passed on from one generation to the next
What is made up of DNA and is located on the chromosomes inside the nucleus?
genes
Two chromosomes that are the same size shape and contain similar genetics information is called?
Homologous Chromosomes

How are autosomes similar to sex chromosomes?
Sex chromosomes and autosomes are from the same chromosome, The chromosome has 46 chromosomes and 2 of them are sex chromosomes and the rest are called autosomes
A somatic cell that does not contain a multiple of 23 chromosomes is called?
euploid cell
What are the functional units of hereditary called?
Functional units of heredity are called genes. Genes are segments of DNA that contain instructions for building proteins, which determine an individual's traits and characteristics.
