Do Organisms other than humans have mechanisms other than the X and Y chromosomes for determining sex of an individual?
Yes.
Examine the chromosomes labeled x and y how does these two chromosomes compare?
Chromosomes X and Y do not truly make up a homologous pair. They act similarly in their roles, but they are not homologous (the same). The X chromosome in humans is much longer than the Y chromosome and also contains many more genes.
What are the chromosomes that are not X or Y?
All chromosomes that are not either X or Y are called autosomes.
The genes on the x and y chromosomes are called what?
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
How do X and Y chromosome differ?
The X chromosome is larger and carries more genetic information than the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome carries the genes that determine male sex characteristics, while the X chromosome carries genes that are important for both male and female development. Males typically have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.

What are the X and Y chromosomes called?
The X and Y chromosomes are called the "Sex Chromosomes". Both the X and Y chromosome are part of the "sex-determining system" that helps determine the sex characteristics in humans. In the system, females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).
What are the chromosomes that are not X or Y?
All chromosomes that are not either X or Y are called autosomes.
The genes on the x and y chromosomes are called what?
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
What does the german word autosomal mean in english?
Autosomal (German) = Autosomal (English), it refers to any of the chromosomes other than the sex-determining chromosomes (X and Y) or the genes on these chromosomes
How many chromosomes do cats do?
6 they have more than an x & y.
Sex-linked genes are usually found in which chromosome?
Sex linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes.
What is a child with X and Y chromosomes?
A child with X and Y chromosomes typically identifies as male. This combination of chromosomes determines male biological development, including physical traits such as testes and the production of testosterone.
Do animals have both X and Y chromosomes?
No, animals do not have both X and Y chromosomes. In most animals, males have XY chromosomes and females have XX chromosomes.
Is it true that x and y are body chromosomes?
X and Y are copies of the chromosomes that determine gender. If someone has two x chromosomes they are female, while if they have one x and one y chromosome they are male. There is a rare disease where someone has one x and one y chromosome (known as XXY males) and these individuals display characteristics of both genders.
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.
