No, W and Z were just chosen as the names to distinguish them from X and Y.
It depends which species you are. There is the XY system (which mammals use) where it is the presence of the Y chromosome that induces male development. The Y chromosome contains genes like Sry that initiate the male developmental program. Male mammals have an X and a Y chromosome, female mammals have two X chromosomes. However, for other species, like birds, use the so-called ZW sex chromosome system where it is actually the absence of the W chromosome that permits male development - male birds have two Z chromosomes and female birds have a W and a Z chromosome. And then there's the X0 system, which many insects use, where two copies of an X chromosome results in a female but a single copy of an X chromosome results in a male.
a specific sentence
They look the same as animal chromosomes. The individual chromatids are worm-like in appearance and are normally joined in pairs at the centre (the centromere); simplistically they look like two parallel lines joined by a dot in the centre. The number of chromosomes in a nucleus varies from plant species to plant species.
if you're a woman with a penis you have bigger worries than what it looks like
A telocentric chromosome is a type of chromosome with the centromere located at one end, resulting in a single chromosomal arm. This structure is commonly found in certain species and can affect the genetic behavior during cell division and meiosis.

The chromosome's role is to tell the stem cells what to make and how to look like. For example, if you have brown eyes, and the genetic code is 01001, then that is what the chromosome tells the cell to look like and function like.
No. People with Klinefelter's syndrome have a normal Y chromosome and 2 normal X chromosomes.
then you know what your looking at and for
The trisomy 21 in a karyotype would look like extra chromosome 21 I ^^
wertyuiop
It doesn't, it looks like a "W".
tall
you add the l+l and the w+w so it look like this l+l+w+w+
Hemophilia is a Sex-linked genetic disorder. It is found on the X chromosome of chromosome 23.A carrier for Hemophilia(represented by H(dominant) or h(recessive)) would look like this:XHXh(Female)*Males are not carriers for hemophilia-They are either affected or they're not*An affected person would look like this:XhXh(Female) XhY(Male)Someone who is neither a carrier nor affected would look like this:XHXH(Female) XHY(Male)
No star exists with that name
No. An 'X' chromosome looks like an 'X'. The 'Y' chromosome looks like a deformed 'X'. It is noticeably different to an 'X' chromosome. Also, the 'Y' chromosome is only a third of the size of an 'X' chromosome - an 'X' chromosome is 155 million base pares, while the 'Y' chromosome is only 58 million base pairs.
