Biology

ScanSolve AI Answer

Here are two types of chromosomes:

  1. Autosomes: These are chromosomes that are the same in both males and females of a species. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes. They carry genes for most of the body's traits.

  2. Sex chromosomes: These chromosomes determine an individual's sex. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). They also carry genes for traits that are not related to sex.
