its usually the size of it and the information that is in the pair
In humans what are the chromosome pairs 1 through 22 called?
Chromosome pair 23 in humans is the pair of sex chromosomes. In females, both sex chromosomes are the X sex chromosome, and in human males one sex chromosome is the X and the other is the Y chromosome.
How many chromosome and chromosome pairs in humans?
There are 46 chromosomes per cell, with 22 pairs and an XX pair for females or an XY pair for males.

How is gender inheritance?
Gender is inherited from your parent's 23rd chromosome. The (XX) chromosome pair is for a female and the (XY) chromosome pair is for a male. You get a (X) chromosome from your mother because she has two (x)'s. Her 23rd chromosome is (XX). It's your father's chromosome that determines what gender you are. His 23rd chromosomes were (XY). If you get an (X) from him, you become a girl. If you get a (Y) chromosome from him, you become a boy. This all happens when your mother's egg is fertilized.

the answer is TRANSLOCATION.
Suppose you're looking through a microscope and you see an exchange of chromosome segments between chromosome pair 7 and chromosome pair 15 this conditions is an example of?

What is a pair of chromatin called?
Chromosome
How many chromosomes are in a homologous pair?
in a homologous chromosome there are two chromosomes ( a chromosome and a sister chromosome)
Suppose your looking through a microscope and you see an exchange of chromosome segments between chromosome pair 7 and chromosome pair 15?
An exchange of chromosome segments is called a translocation. In genetics, it refers to a chromosome abnormality caused by rearrangement of parts between nonhomologous chromosomes.
Where does each chromosome in a pair of homologous chromosomes come from?
Each chromosome in a pair of homologous chromosomes is inherited from one parent. One chromosome comes from the mother (maternal) and the other from the father (paternal).

What are the X and Y chromosomes?
Everybody has 23 pairs of chromosomes, half they get from their mother and half from their father. The 23rd chromosome you have contains the information of what sex you are. If you are a girl you will have a X chromosome from your mother and and X chromosome from you father. If you are a boy it means you will have a X chromosome from your mother and a Y chromosome from your father. When a sperm cell fertilises an egg the sperm will either be carrying the X chromosome from the male or a Y. If the sperm is carrying a X it will pair with the X chromosome from the mother making the baby a girl. If the sperm is carrying a Y chromosome it will pair with the X chromosome from the mother making the baby a boy! This means it is all down to the father whether the baby is a boy or a girl.
