Whether someone is a female or male.
the best known function of the x and y chromosomes is determination of the sex of an organism. In humans, fertilized eggs which have the genetic pattern xx are females and those which have xy are males. The chromosomes also have other genes on them which are known as sex-linked genes.
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".
Chromosomes that are not X or Y are called homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes. The first 22 pairs of human chromosomes are autosomal.
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.
men have a x and y chromosome while women have two x chromosomes the y chromosomes determine the sex of the baby
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.
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
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".
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).
Chromosomes that are not X or Y are called homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes. The first 22 pairs of human chromosomes are autosomal.

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.
