What else can I help you with?
Genes found on the x and y chromosomes are often called?
sex-linked genes
What does sex linked alleles mean?
Sex linked genes occur only on the X or the Y sex chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are contained in a sex cell of an elephant?
An elephant sex cell (sperm or egg) contains 56 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal elephant cell, which typically has 112 chromosomes.
Which Of the combination of sex chromosomes is found in a normal human female?
The normal monoploid (n) # of a female sex cell is 23 chromosomes
How many chromosomes would be found in turkey's sperm cells?
A turkey has 80 chromosomes, so its sex cells will have 40 chromosomes.
What are the sex chromosomes typically found in a human female?
The sex chromosomes typically found in a human female are two X chromosomes.
Genes found on the x and y chromosomes are often called?
sex-linked genes
What does sex linked alleles mean?
Sex linked genes occur only on the X or the Y sex chromosomes.
How many chromosome are found in sex cell?
Sex cells, also known as gametes, typically contain 23 chromosomes in humans. This is half the number of chromosomes found in other body cells, which have 46 chromosomes. When two gametes combine during fertilization, they create a zygote with the full complement of 46 chromosomes.
Sex-linked genes are usually found in which chromosome?
Sex linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a mature sex cell?
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
Which type of inheritance involves genes found on the non-autosomal chromosomes?
These are called sex linked genes since they are on the genes that code for sex.
What is a trait that is determined by a gene found on one of the sex chromosomes?
A sex linked trait.
How many chromosomes are found in the male sex cell?
23
How many chromosomes will be found in the organisims sex cell?
23
What are the other 44 chromosomes that are not related to sex called?
The other 44 chromosomes that are not related to sex are called autosomes. These autosomes are found in pairs, with one copy inherited from each parent, and they contain genetic information that determines various traits and characteristics in an individual.
How are autosomes similar to sex chromosomes?
Autosomes and sex chromosomes are both types of chromosomes found in the nucleus of cells. The main difference is that autosomes contain genes responsible for determining most traits, while sex chromosomes determine an individual's biological sex. Additionally, humans typically have two sets of autosomes (one from each parent) and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX for females and XY for males).
