It's essentially impossible to answer this question, because there are lots... indeed, an infinity... of potential genes that could be part of the human genome but are not.

One of them, for example, is the gene that would enable humans to synthesize vitamin C. Most mammals have it; humans, bats, guinea pigs, and a few monkeys don't.

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.


What portion of the human Y chromosome is homologous to the human X chromosome?

The pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) at the tips of the Y chromosome are homologous to regions on the X chromosome. These PARs are responsible for pairing and recombination between the X and Y chromosomes during meiosis. About 5% of the Y chromosome is homologous to the X chromosome in humans.


What are the name of 23 chromosomes in human body?

No, there are 46 chromosomes in one cell. A gamete, or sex cell, has 23 chromosomes because during fertilization, the female and male gametes (egg and sperm, respectively) come together to form a new cell with 46 chromosomes


Each human chromosome is replicated in about how many sections?

Each human chromosome is typically replicated in multiple sections called replication origins. These origins are sites along the chromosome where the DNA double helix unwinds and new DNA strands are synthesized during DNA replication.


Why is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome a sperm?

Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.
