3. Gender symbol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_symbol

   The three standard sex symbols in biology are male ♂, female ♀ and hermaphroditic ⚥; originally the symbol for Mercury, ☿, was used for the last.These symbols were first used by Carl Linnaeus in 1751 to denote whether flowers were male (stamens only), female (pistil only) or perfect flowers with both pistils and stamens. [1]

4. Sex differences in human physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_human...

   When an egg and sperm fuse at fertilization, the two sets of chromosomes come together to form a unique diploid individual with 46 chromosomes. [2] The sex chromosome in a human egg is always an X chromosome since a female only has X sex chromosomes. In sperm, about half the sperm have an X chromosome and half have a Y chromosome. [2]

5. Sex chromosome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_chromosome

   Sex linked diseases are passed down through families through one of the X or Y chromosomes. Since usually men inherit Y chromosomes, they are the only ones to inherit Y-linked traits. Men and women can get the X-linked ones since both inherit X chromosomes. [21] An allele is either said to be dominant or recessive. Dominant inheritance occurs ...

6. Female - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female

   The symbol of the Roman goddess Venus is used to represent the female sex in biology. [1] An organism's sex is female (symbol: ♀) if it produces the ovum (egg cell), the type of gamete (sex cell) that fuses with the male gamete (sperm cell) during sexual reproduction. [2] [3] [4] A female has larger gametes than a male.

7. Sexual differentiation in humans - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_differentiation_in...

   Most mammals, including humans, have an XY sex-determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. In the absence of a Y chromosome, the fetus will undergo female development. This is because of the presence of the sex-determining region of the Y chromosome, also known as the SRY gene. [5]

8. XY sex-determination system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_sex-determination_system

   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 female characteristics, and an offspring with an X and a Y chromosome (XY) will develop male ...

9. Human genome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

   It consists of 22 autosomes plus one copy of the X chromosome and one copy of the Y chromosome. It contains approximately 3.1 billion base pairs (3.1 Gb or 3.1 x 10 9 bp). [ 6 ] This represents the size of a composite genome based on data from multiple individuals but it is a good indication of the typical amount of DNA in a haploid set of ...
