To determine:
The pseudoautosomal region
Introduction:
The male chromosome has a single X chromosome and a Y chromosome. Y chromosome is acrocentric and comparatively smaller than the X chromosome. Males are having heterogametic sex and female have homogametic sex which means it has two X chromosomes. During segregation the homologous chromosomes pair with each other and then segregate and move into daughter cell.
To determine:
How the inheritance of traits encoded by pseudoautosomal genes is different from inheritance of other Y-linked characters.
Introduction:
The gender determination is dependent on type of sex chromosome. Females are homogametic they have 2 separate XX chromosome and males are heterogametic they have an X chromosome and one acrocentric Y chromosome.
