Sex chromosomes: the x and y chromosomes that determine a, e. g. , xx = female, xy = male person"s sex. The presence of a y chromosome makes someone male. Carries all the biochemical instructions involved in the formation and functioning of an organism. Segments of dna that contain codes for the production of specific proteins. Make up 2% of a human"s genome. A change that occurs in a section of dna. Some are random, while others occur due to. The process where sections of dna switch from one chromosome to the other.
