What are two types of chromosomes in the body how are they different?

the two types of chromatins are euchromatin and heterochromatin.They are different in that heterochromatin is coiled while euchromatin is not coiled.It is this coiling that makes heterochromatin inactive and therefore less in the nucleus when the nucleus is actively involved in protein synthesis.On the other hand,euchromatin is active because its DNA is exposed.
When viewed under a microscope,the two chromatins have different stains.

∙ 16y agoYour body cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes. In each pair, one chromosome comes from your mother and one from your father. The 23 pairs of chromosomes can be divided into two types: autosomes and sex chromosomes. Autosomes are chromosomes which control features that can be the same in males and females. For example your eye colour, hair colour and blood group genes are carried on autosomes. Of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in your cells, 22 pairs are autosomes. The remaining pair of chromosomes are the sex chromosomes. These control the differences between males and females. There are two types of sex chromosomes, called X chromosomes and Y chromosomes. If you have two X chromosomes in your cells (XX) you are a female. If you have one X and one Y chromosome (XY) you are a male. X chromosomes are larger than Y chromosomes.

When DNA is combined from two different sources what kind of organism does it produce?
If the two different sources of DNA are a sperm and egg cell, they produce a diploid organism, which means that it has two sets of chromosomes in its body cells.
Suppose that the great green galoofus lizard has fifty-two chromosomes in the nucleus of its body or somatic cells. How many chromosomes will be in the unfertilized egg of a great green galoofus lizar?
Body cells are diploid, which means they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, both egg and sperm cells, are haploid, which means they have one set of chromosomes. So if the body cells have 56 chromosomes, the unfertilized egg would have 28 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a normal human body?
46.The cells of the human body, for example in the liver, brain, and muscles, contain two sets of chromosomes, and are called diploid. There are 23 chromosomes in each set, and we inherit 23 from each parent.
What type of cell has two sets chromosomes?
Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. The body cells of animals are all diploid. Human diploid cells contain 46 chromosomes.
Can two different chromosomes crossover?
Yes. It is called crossing over.
Are chromosomes and sex cells the two major cells in your body?
No. Chromosomes are parts of cells, and sex cells are just one of many types of cells.
What are the two types of cells in the body that do not contain 23 pairs of chromosomes?
egg cells and sperm cells
A parental cell has two pairs of homologues How many different combinations of chromosomes can occur among the gametes?
4 types
What two types of organelles provide a pathway for the chromosomes?
it you

What are the two major groups of cells in the human body?
There are three types of embryonic cells; endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. In the human body there are many different types of cells, more than two. They are grouped into tissue types. We have four different tissues; connective, nervous, muscular, and epithelial. The two major groups of cell types in the human body are somatic cells and gamete cells.
How many types of muscle actions or movements?
How many different types of musclesare there in the human body? How many different types of musclesare there in the human body?
What two types of paired cell structures are copied?
Chromosomes and centromeres.
What two cells in your body that don not have identical chromosomes are?
if you are a male you have an x and a y chromosome in your twenty third chromosome, thus making them different

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
