  2. Y chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_chromosome

    The human Y chromosome is composed of about 62 million base pairs of DNA, making it similar in size to chromosome 19 and represents almost 2% of the total DNA in a male cell. [54] [55] The human Y chromosome carries 693 genes, 107 of which are protein-coding. [56]

    The human Y chromosome showing the SRY gene which codes for a protein regulating sexual differentiation. Sexual differentiation in humans is the process of development of sex differences in humans. It is defined as the development of phenotypic structures consequent to the action of hormones produced following gonadal determination. [1]

  9. XY sex-determination system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_sex-determination_system

    In these species, one or more genes are present on their Y chromosome that determine maleness. In this process, an X chromosome and a Y chromosome act to determine the sex of offspring, often due to genes located on the Y chromosome that code for maleness. Offspring have two sex chromosomes: an offspring with two X chromosomes (XX) will develop ...
