Sex Chromosomes
The nuclei of human cells contain 22 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. In females, the sex chromosomes are the 2 X chromosomes. Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome.
Sex Chromosome
A sex chromosome is a type of chromosome that participates in sex determination. Humans and most other mammals have two sex chromosomes, the X and the Y.
Sex Chromosome Abnormalities
Aneuploidy involving the X and Y chromosomes is more common in humans since the results are less devastating than autosomal aneuploidies.
sex chromosomes The chromosomes that determine the sex of an organism. In humans, females have two X chromosomes, and males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. Chromosome that determines the gender (sex) of the individual.
sex chromosomes
The pair of chromosomes responsible for determining the sex of an individual.

Sex chromosomes: The X and Y chromosomes in human beings that determine the sex of an individual. Females have two X chromosomes; males have one X an d one Y. Single strand: One half of a DNA double helix.
Sex Chromosome One of the chromosomes which are present in different numbers in males and females. In humans this means the X and Y chromosomes, XX in females and XY in males.
Sex chromosome
A sex chromosome is one of the two chromosomes that specify an organism's genetic sex. Humans have two kinds of sex chromosomes, one called X and the other Y.
Sex Chromosomes
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total) chromosomes. Two of these are called sex chromosomes, the other 44 are called autosomes.
Sex chromosome
The X and Y chromosomes in organisms that determine the sex of an individual. In human beings females have two X chromosomes in diploid cells; males have an X and a Y chromosome.

Sex chromosomes are a relatively recent invention. Our ancestors in the tree of evolution did not have two sex chromosomes that are fully differentiated the way we know them with an X and a Y chromosomes.
sex chromosome one of a pair of chromosomes whose composition determines gender
sex hormone A hormone that controls the timing of reproduction and sexual characteristics in vertebrates.
The sex chromosomes are one of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes. The X chromosome spans more than 153 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents about 5 percent of the total DNA in cells.
Women have sex chromosomes of XX, and men have sex chromosomes of XY.
Which of a women's grandparents could not be the source of any of the genes on either of her X-chromosomes? A. Mother's Father.
B. Father's Mother.
Genome -- all of the genes carried by a single gamete; the DNA content of an individual, which includes all 44 autosomes, 2 sex chromosomes, and the mitochondrial DNA. Genotype -- genetic constitution of an organism.
Of these, 22 are autosomes and 1 is a sex chromosome.
Clones A group of cells derived from a single ancestor.
Cloning The process of asexually producing a group of cells (clones), all genetically identical, from a single ancestor.
Sex chromosomes may differ in their size, depending on the species of the organism they are from. In humans and Drosophila, males have a smaller sex chromosome, termed the Y, and a larger one, termed the X.
A human cell contains 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes: 22 of them are homologous non-sex chromosomes (or autosomes) and 1 homologous pair of sex chromosomes. In females, the homologous sex chromosomes are 2 X's; in males the X and Y chromosomes.
David Ledbetter and his colleagues at the Baylor College of Medicine, for example, are mapping the sex chromosome X and chromosome 17.
