Triple X syndrome is a form of chromosomal variation characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in each cell of a human female. The condition occurs only in females, which have an additional chromosome, resulting in the formation of XXX.

The female may not experience severe phenotypic characteristics though because of Barr Bodies. 2 (randomly selected) of the 3 X chromosomes will be "switched off" in each cell.

What are the names of all the 46 chromosomes?

The word that describes similar chromosomes, one from each parent is homologous. Each human for example has, with certain exceptions 23 chromosome pairs.

Homologous chromosomes have the potential to contain exactly the same genes, but nature has made sure that they don't.
