Males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). The Y chromosome is responsible for determining male sex characteristics and contains genes crucial for male development. This chromosomal difference leads to the biological distinctions between males and females.

How are sex linked genes expressed differently in the phenotypes of males and females?
i dont know.. im looking for the answer... XD
Is the x chromozone a female one or male one?
The X chromosome belongs to both males and females. However, females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome(XX), and are called the homogametic sex. Males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the hetrogametic sex.
What do male have in their DNA?
That depends:in mammals males have an XY chromosome pair and females have an XX chromosome pair, so males have a Y chromosome that females lackin birds, some fish, some crustaceans, some insects, and some reptiles males have a ZZ chromosome pair and females have a ZW chromosome pair, so males have two Z chromosomes while females only have onein some fish and some amphibians males and females have identical genetics and gender is determined by the temperature of the water they hatched inin many plant they are hermaphrodites: both male and female in one individualetc.
What is the differences of males and females at the genetic level?
The genetic difference between males and females is that the female has two X chromosomes and the male has one X and one Y chromosome.
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.
Do Males or Females have a larger sex chromosome?

What is the correct way to describe the difference between males and females?
Males have an XY chromosome and females have XX.
What alleles do females carry but not males?
Females carry two copies of the X chromosome, while males carry one X and one Y chromosome. This means that females can have two different alleles for genes located on the X chromosome, while males can only have one allele for those genes.
Is the x chromozone a female one or male one?
The X chromosome belongs to both males and females. However, females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome(XX), and are called the homogametic sex. Males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the hetrogametic sex.
Why are males more likely to have fragile X syndrome?
males have only one copy of the X chromosome. Males who inherit the full mutation are expected to have mental impairment. A female's normal X chromosome may compensate for her chromosome with the fragile X gene mutation

What type of sex chromosomes do females have?
Female have two X chromosomes while males have an X and a Y chromosome.
Fragile X syndrome affects only females?
No, Fragile X is on the X chromosome. Females have 2 X chromosomes and Males have an X and a Y Chromosome. Therefore, both males and females can have Fragile X (they can have the full mutation or be carriers). Males are usually more severly affected because they have only one X Chromosome.
What do males and females have?
Both have 23 pairs including sex chromosomes. . Males have an X and Y sex chromosome and females have two X.
What best describes the sex in chromosomes in humans?
Males have two different chromosomes
Why males are afflicted with hemophilia more than females?
Because males have the chromosome XY. And Hemophilia attacks the X chromosomes, so if the disorder gets to the X chromosome of the male, it doesnt have another X chromosome to back it up like females do.(XX)
