Chromosomes are considered sex determiners because they carry genes that dictate the development of sexual characteristics in an organism. In many species, including humans, the presence of specific sex chromosomes (such as X and Y in humans) determines an individual's sex. For instance, individuals with two X chromosomes typically develop as female, while those with one X and one Y chromosome develop as male. This genetic distinction plays a crucial role in the formation of reproductive organs and secondary sexual traits.

Is the female chromosome the sex determiner for many species?
Yes
What is the sex determiner?
Sex is determined by the 23rd pair of chromosomes (in humans). You get an X chromosome from your mother and an X or Y chromosome from your father. If you are XX, you are female. If you are XY, you are male.
Is a sex-linked gene found on one sex chromosome but not on the other?
Yes, a sex-linked gene is located on one of the sex chromosomes (X or Y), but not both. This means that the inheritance of the gene is dependent on the individual's sex. For example, genes on the X chromosome are considered sex-linked because males have only one X chromosome, while females have two.
In genetics what is the female sex chromosomes?
X chromosome
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.

Yes, a gene located on the X or Y chromosome is considered to be sex-linked.
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex-linked?

What is the difference between sex chromosome an autosomal chromosome?
the autosome do not control the sex organs . but the sex chromosome control the sex organs
What is the link between sex-linked disorders and sex chromosome disorders?
sex-linked is normally involving X chromosome sex chromosome normally involving Y chromosome

Is angelman syndrome autosomal?
"Autosomal" means the syndrome or disorder of interest is pertaining to a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome, either X or Y. Angelman and Prader-Willi Syndrome are both caused by a deletion (or disruption of a gene) on chromosome 15, which is an autosomal chromosome and not a sex chromosome. Therefore, yes, Angelman syndrome is considered an autosomal syndrome.
What condition is carried on a chromosome other then the sex chromosome?
The gene that causes cystic fibrosis is located on chromosome 7, which is an autosome, not a sex chromosome.
In genetics what is the female sex chromosomes?
X chromosome
