Which chromosmoes contains sex-linled genes?
Sex-linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes, particularly on the X and Y chromosomes. On the X chromosome, X-linked genes are inherited differently between males and females, while the Y chromosome carries genes related to male sex determination and fertility.
Which pairs on the human karyotype are known as sex chromosomes?
All the chromosomes except the sex chromosomes.
Chromosomes other than those involved in sex determination are knows as?
The chromosomes you are referring to are called autosomes.
Do all mammals possess both X and Y chromosomes?
No, not all mammals possess both X and Y chromosomes. Mammals have different sex determination systems, with some species having X and Y chromosomes for males and females, while others have different combinations of sex chromosomes or use other methods to determine sex.
What is a baby's gender if he or she has XXY sex chromosomes?
A baby with XXY sex chromosomes typically has Klinefelter syndrome, which is associated with male development. However, individuals with XXY chromosomes can have a range of physical and developmental differences. It's important to remember that gender identity is separate from biological sex.
What is one of a pair of chromosomes that are involved in sex determination of an idividual?
One of the pair of chromosomes involved in sex determination is the Y chromosome. In individuals with a Y chromosome, they typically develop as males, while those without a Y chromosome develop as females.
What is the definition of sex chromosomes?

Autosomes are what kind of chromosomes?
Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that are present in both males and females. They determine an individual's traits and characteristics, excluding those related to sex determination.
How is cat sex determination determined?
Cat sex determination is determined by the presence or absence of a specific pair of sex chromosomes. Female cats have two X chromosomes (XX), while male cats have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The combination of these chromosomes determines the sex of the cat.
What does an x and y chromosome identify?
In the cytological terminology x and y chromosomes are identified as sex chromosomes. In human being these chromosomes are responsible for determination of sex in the offspring.
How is the sex determination of kittens determined?
The sex determination of kittens is determined by their chromosomes. Female kittens have two X chromosomes (XX) and male kittens have one X and one Y chromosome (XY).
Who experimeneted with fruit flies to learn about chromosomes?
it is Calvin BRIDGES who worked on Drosophila chromosomes for their sex determination.
What do x y chromosomes affect?
Whether someone is a female or male.
What are the effects of human sex chromosomes on sex determination?
If you have a Y, you're a male... if you don't, you're a female
How is kitten sex determination determined?
Kitten sex determination is determined by the chromosomes inherited from the parents. Female kittens have two X chromosomes (XX) and male kittens have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of the Y chromosome determines the male sex.
How are sex chromosomes different from other chromosomes?
Sex chromosomes determine an individual's biological sex, with females typically having two X chromosomes (XX) and males typically having one X and one Y chromosome (XY). Unlike other chromosomes, sex chromosomes also play a role in determining secondary sexual characteristics and may carry genes unrelated to sex determination.
Do autosomes play a direct role in sex determination?
No. Autosomes are chromosomes with information on them about being "human".
