The X and Y chromosomes determine the sex of the individual, but most of the genes are not directly involved in that.

A human female inherits?
two copies of every gene located on the X chromosome.
The Y chromosome is larger and carries fewer genes than the X chromosome?
No. The Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome. There are only about 70 active genes on the Y chromosome and many more deleteriously mutated one. The X chromosome contains many more active genes and only crosses over marginally with the Y chromosome.
What does a Barr body in a mammalian female cell represents?
x chromosome... since female body has single type of chromosome, X chromosome
What is the a pattern of inheritance in which certain characteristics carried on the X chromosome inherited from the mother are transmitted differently to her male and female offspring called?
Sex linked.
What are sex chromosomes in a human male?
We call these sex chromosomes. Whether you are a male or female depends on the presence or absence of certain chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. If you have two XX, you will show female characteristics and If you have XY you will show male characteristics.
Which of these statements is true biology aplus?
only some genes located on the X chromosome control female sexual characteristics
Are all sex genes in male and female located on the sex chromosome?
No, the sex chromosome will just activate them, for instance, masculine characteristics may be on chromosome 3, the y chromosome will activate these in a man and a second x chromosome will deactivate these in a woman.

Does insulin control male and female characteristics?

Which chromosome from the sperm is necessary to produce a female?
Y chromosome
What is the a pattern of inheritance in which certain characteristics carried on the X chromosome inherited from the mother are transmitted differently to her male and female offspring called?
Sex linked.
What genetic material do you get from your mother?
If you are female, you receive half of your father's genetic material. If you are male, you receive almost half; the Y chromosome is missing some genes, so it is the mother's X chromosome and the genes on the top of it that solely determine certain characteristics in the son. These are called sex-linked characteristics.
What are sex chromosomes in a human male?
We call these sex chromosomes. Whether you are a male or female depends on the presence or absence of certain chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. If you have two XX, you will show female characteristics and If you have XY you will show male characteristics.
