Sex chromosomes (XX = female and XY = male)
A karyotype is a representation of an individual's set of chromosomes, showing the number, size, and shape of chromosomes. It does not determine gender; rather, it provides information on potential genetic conditions or disorders. Gender is typically determined by the presence of XX chromosomes in females and XY chromosomes in males.
Chromosome pair 23 determines the gender of a human. These chromosomes will either be two X's for females, or an X and a Y for males.
The 22nd pair of chromosomes is determined by the combination of one chromosome from each parent during fertilization. Each parent contributes one chromosome to determine the genetic makeup of the 22nd pair.
Chromosomes play a crucial role in determining a child's gender, as they are inherited from the parents. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one pair being the sex chromosomes: XX for females and XY for males. The mother contributes an X chromosome, while the father can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome. Thus, the combination of these chromosomes ultimately determines the child's gender.
The paired chromosomes that determine an individual's gender are called sex chromosomes.
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.
Xy chromosomes= boy xx chromosomes= female
No, chromosomes are usually found in pairs, with one chromosome inherited from each parent. This pair of chromosomes, one from the mother and one from the father, is called a homologous pair. In humans, we have 23 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 46 chromosomes.
The last pair? Those are the losers. No, seriously, you're probably asking about the sex chromosomes. The X and Y chromosomes. All the others are numbered. 1-22 plus the sex chromosomes makes 23 pairs or 46 total chromosomes in humans.
Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) have a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes, which means they have 46 chromosomes in total. This includes 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes that determine their gender. The chromosomal structure plays a crucial role in their genetic diversity and reproductive traits.
most of the chromosomes are the same, regardless of gender. the 23rd chromosome pair in males is XY and in females it's XX.
There are 46 chromosomes (condensed threads of genetic material formed from chromatin as a cell prepares to divide), and 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body.
