What else can I help you with?
Is a female 2 X chromosomes?
Yes, and males have an X and a Y chromosome.
Why can't a female inherit a gene found on the y chromosome?
Females do not have a Y chromosome, so they cannot inherit genes found on it. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and females inherit two X chromosomes, one from each parent. Therefore, any gene found on the Y chromosome is not present in females.
Do males and females have the same number of chromosomes in their sex cells?
Yes, male wolves have the same number of chromosomes as females. There is no research at this time on the DNA found in the X chromosome and the Y chromosome and the Wolf. The Wolf has 78 chromosomes.
How many homologous chromosomes do males have?
Males have 44 homologous chromosomes, or 22 pairs. Females are 46 and 23 respectively since they have homologous sex chromosomes.
Chromosomes found in somatic cells and are perfectly matched in males and females?
Autosomes are the chromosomes found in somatic cells that are perfectly matched in males and females. These chromosomes are responsible for determining non-sex traits in an individual. Both males and females have two copies of each autosome, one from each parent, making them perfectly matched.
What type of sex chromosomes do females have?
Female have two X chromosomes while males have an X and a Y chromosome.
What best describes the sex in chromosomes in humans?
Males have two different chromosomes
What is the chromosome that represents the sex chromosome?
The sex chromosomes are represented by X and Y chromosomes. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of the Y chromosome determines male physical characteristics.
Is a female 2 X chromosomes?
Yes, and males have an X and a Y chromosome.
How many pairs of chromosomes do females have?
In humans, the somatic cells of both females and males have 23 chromosome pairs.
How many chromosomes are common to both males and females?
Both males and females have 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. In females, the sex chromosomes are two X chromosomes (XX), while in males, the sex chromosomes are one X and one Y chromosome (XY). Therefore, one pair of the sex chromosomes is common to both males and females.
Why can't a female inherit a gene found on the y chromosome?
Females do not have a Y chromosome, so they cannot inherit genes found on it. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and females inherit two X chromosomes, one from each parent. Therefore, any gene found on the Y chromosome is not present in females.
What kind of chromosome do females transmit of offspring?
Female transmit 23 chromosomes to the offspring. She has that unique chromosome called as X chromosome. This is transmitted to the offspring. From male you get either X or Y chromosome. From XX chromosome you get female child. From XY chromosome you get male child.
What is lyon's hypothesis?
Females carry two X chromosomes. One is inherited from each parent. Both of the X chromosomes do not have to be activated. One of the X chromosomes is neutralized. However, the extra X chromosome can be reactivated in some cases. This does not means that females need only one chromosome. Females with only one X chromosome have genetic conditions that can cause disabilities such as Turner Syndrome.
What does chromosomes mean-?
A chromosome is a DNA strand, that is comprised of genes. The two sex chromosomes are XX in females and XY in males.
Chromosome arrangement for body cells of female?
chromosomes arragement in body cell of females
The body cells of human males have what two chromosomes?
The body cells of most humans have 46 chromosomes, which can be arranged into 23 pairs. One chromosome in each pair comes from the mother and the other chromosome comes from the father. Of the 23 pairs, 22 pairs (the body chromosomes, or autosomes) are the same in males and females. The 23 rd pair, called the sex chromosomes, is different in males and females. In females, the sex chromosomes are the same and are called X chrosomes. In males, the sex chromosomes are different. One is an X chromosome (inherited from your mother or your father) and the other is a smaller chromosome called the Y chromosome (inherited from your father). So, the two chromosomes which are found in human males (but not human females) are the sex chromosomes, X and Y. See: http://biology.about.com/library/weekly/aa091103a.htm
