Document Summary

In many organisms, one or more pairs of chromosomes are different in males from those in females. Genes located on these chromosomes, the sex chromosomes are sex- linked genes; they"re i(cid:374)herited differe(cid:374)tly i(cid:374) (cid:373)ales a(cid:374)d fe(cid:373)ales. Autosomes: chromosome other than a sex chromosome; these genes have the same patterns of inheritance in both sexes. *prof note: as usual, be sure you can integrate sex linkage with the mechanism by which chromosomes segregate in meiosis. 11. 2 a) females are xx and males are xy. In most species with sex chromosomes, females have two copies of a chromosome known as the x chromosome, forming a fully homologous xx pair, whereas males have only one x chromosome. Another chromosome, the y chromosome, occurs in males but not in females. The y chromosome has a short region of homology with the x chromosome that allows them to pair during meiosis. Each normal gamete produced by an xx female carries an x chromosome.
