If a male organism has 40 chromosomes in each body cell how many chromosomes does a female of the same species have in each body cell?

don't know


How can you identify the difference of a female chromosome and a male chromosome?

What differentiates a male from a female based off the chromosomes that are present is that a male organism will have X and Y chromosomes whereas a female organism will have X and X chromosomes.


What organism has an odd number of chromosomes?

The fern plant Ophioglossum reticulatum (netted adder's-tongue) has 630 or 631 pairs of chromosomes. Ophioglossum plants have more chromosomes than any other known living organism.


Which pair of chromosomes produces a male off-springs?

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.


Are there male and female algae?

It depends.There's "male" and "female" in some algaes, where a female genome, and a male genome come together to form the zygote.But they dont have male and female the way humans think of male and female.

What determines the sex of an organism-?

The sex chromosomes determine the sex of an organism. In humans, it is the 23 pair. Females pass on either or their X chromosomes, while males pass on either their X or their Y. If the male passes on their X chromosome, the resulting offspring is female. If they pass on their Y chromosome, the resulting offspring is male.

What determines the sex of the organism?

The male has an x and a y sex chromosome. The female has two x sex chromosomes.


How are male and female chromosomes represented by letters?

Male chromosomes are typically represented by "XY" where X represents the female chromosome and Y represents the male chromosome. Female chromosomes are represented by "XX" with each X representing one of the female chromosomes.


What is an organism whoses nucleus contains the X and Y chroosomes?

An organism with a nucleus containing both the X and Y chromosomes is typically male in species where sex is determined by these chromosomes. This organism would have a combination of genetic information from both chromosomes, influencing their physical and reproductive characteristics.


Is xx female or male?

A female is an XX. However, during development one of the X chromosomes is deactivated and is called a Barr body.Human females have XX sex chromosomes. A male has XY chromosomes. The Y chromosome is very small and contains only genes that make a male a male.


How are traits of parents passed to off-springs?

They are passed on by male or female chromosomes.


What is the sex chromosomes of male?

In humans and other mammals, a male has XY sex chromosomes. In birds, a male has XX chromosomes. In amphibians, male chromosomes look the same as female chromosomes.


When do chromosomes duplicate in a cells life?

When there joined with a male chromosomes and a female chromosomes


How does the chromosomes effevt the human body?

Chromosomes effect the body by telling it if you will be male of female. XX is the chromosome for a female and XY is for male.
