the female egg cell is almost like a body cell the sperm cell however has 3 sections. A tail for moving, a mid section full of energy producing mitochondria, and a head containing the nucleus and covered with enzymes.
A female's chromosome is XX while a male's chromosomes are XY. Females have 2 X chromosomes so if there is something wrong with one of their X chromosomes, they have a back-up one, however, males , since they only have one X chromosome, if something goes wrong with it then they don't have a back-up so they will then have a genetic deficiency. It is not the same principle with the Y chromosome though.
Human females have XX, but human males have XY.
The male is labeled X and the female is labeled Y.
A human has 23 pairs of chromosomes but every newly fertilized egg receives 46 chromosomes all together.
The X (female) chromosome is much larger than the Y (male) chromosome.
male sex cells are relatively motile while female sex cells are non-motile
male = Y(smaller) XY female= X(larger) XX
The 22 pairs of chromosomes in human somatic cells that are same in males and females are called autosomes.
Normal females have XX chromosomes and normal males have XY chromosomes. I believe there are two of each in a human body and the rest are autosomes.
Twenty-three unpaired chromosomes are found in a human haploid Cell. Twenty-two are X and the Chromosome Number 23 is either an X or a Y.
Human cells have 23 homologous pairs. They also must go through meiosis before that. Females have 2 X chromosomes, while Males have an X and a Y chromosome. That's why the males cells decide the gender of the child.
The nucleus of a cell has same number of chromosomes as found in the species. For example, it is said that human has 23 pairs of chromosomes. These 23 pairs of chromosomes will be found in each cell ( in the nucleus) Aqsa Azam Vet. Student
Human females have XX chromosomes while human males have XY chromosomes.
The dude is XY and the dudette (qurl) Is XX ! I think .
xx chromosomes
XX chromosomes are called sex chromosomes and are typically found in females.
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in each human somatic cell. 22 pairs are exactly the same in both males and females. In males there are XY sex chromosomes and in females these are XX.
The 22 pairs of chromosomes in human somatic cells that are same in males and females are called autosomes.
Two. X and Y in males. Two Xs in females.
Yes. Females have 2 X chromosomes, while males have 1 X and 1 Y. in the human genome
The body cells of most humans have 46 chromosomes, which can be arranged into 23 pairs. One chromosome in each pair comes from the mother and the other chromosome comes from the father. Of the 23 pairs, 22 pairs (the body chromosomes, or autosomes) are the same in males and females. The 23 rd pair, called the sex chromosomes, is different in males and females. In females, the sex chromosomes are the same and are called X chrosomes. In males, the sex chromosomes are different. One is an X chromosome (inherited from your mother or your father) and the other is a smaller chromosome called the Y chromosome (inherited from your father). So, the two chromosomes which are found in human males (but not human females) are the sex chromosomes, X and Y. See: http://biology.about.com/library/weekly/aa091103a.htm
46 chromosomes will be found in a human daughter cell after mitosis, 23 chromosomes will be found after meiosis.
There are 46 chromosomes in a human body cell.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes In Females the last pair is XX In males the last pair is XY
