Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Sex chromosome is responsible for determining an individual’s sex. There are two types of chromosomes in case of mammals; X and Y chromosomes. These both are responsible for determining an individual’s sex.

- If a human gamete with an extra chromosome participates in fertilization with a gamete with a normal number of chromosomes, how many chromosomes will the zygote have? Explain your answer. (Remember, zygotes are diploid)arrow_forwardBecause of the ________ alignment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, gametes can end up with _________ mixes of maternal and paternal chromosomes. a. unvarying; different b. unvarying; duplicate c. random; duplicate d. random; differentarrow_forwardMost sexual organisms are either male or female though some are hermaphroditic. In human beings and Drosophila (fruitfly), the sex of an individual is determined by the kind of sex chromosomes they possess. Males have two types of chromosomes, a big chromosome X and a small chromosome Y while females have only one kind, 2X or XX. The X and Y chromosomes segregate during the formation of mature spermatozoa (sprematogenesis) so that a mature sperm contains only either X or Y.
