Sex chromosomes are the chromosomes responsible for determining the sex of a person. In humans, there are two types of sex chromosomes: X and Y. The X chromosome is larger and carries more genes than the Y chromosome. In most species, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). During meiosis, when the egg and sperm cells are formed, the sex chromosomes are segregated differently than the other chromosomes. The female egg always carries an X chromosome, while the male sperm carries either an X or a Y chromosome. If a sperm with an X chromosome fertilizes the egg, the resulting embryo will be female (XX). If a sperm with a Y chromosome fertilizes the egg, the resulting embryo will be male (XY). The X and Y chromosomes are believed to have evolved from an ordinary pair of chromosomes that existed in the common ancestor of all mammals. Over time, the Y chromosome has lost much of its genetic material, leading to its small size. The X chromosome, on the other hand, has retained a large number of genes, which are responsible for the development of male and female characteristics. In humans, some genetic conditions are linked to sex chromosomes. For example, Turner syndrome is caused by a missing or partially missing X chromosome. Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome. Other conditions, such as color blindness, are carried on the X chromosome and are more common in males because they only have one X chromosome.
