  • The study sheds light on how organisms have evolved to address such imbalances through a process called sex chromosome dosage compensation, or SCDC. (newswise.com)
  • Organisms with the smallest number of chromosomes: ants, spiders and flies, many of which have fewer than 10 chromosomes. (open.edu)
  • In many organisms the sex of an offspring will be irreversibly determined by its sex chromosomes, or rather, a set of genes on the chromosomes, regardless of any environmental variation. (britishcheloniagroup.org.uk)
Parent3
  • If you think of chromosomes as each representing a chapter in a book, you have two copies of all 23 chapters in your book (23 written by one parent, and 23 written by the other). (helix.com)
  • Notice how the chromosomes (represented by the colored bars) from each parent do not travel together but are actually split among the grandchildren. (helix.com)
  • These are found in pairs, with each pair being made up of one chromosome from each parent. (open.edu)
Female9
  • A female has two X chromosomes, and a male has one X and one Y chromosome. (cdc.gov)
  • Both the male Y and female X chromosomes are thought to have originally been the same size, but after the Y took on the sex-determining role for maleness it apparently began to lose genes. (urbandictionary.com)
  • note, btw that you don't need to take two different individuals, you can just consider the two X chromosomes of a female (or any other pair of chromsom in any gender) and find this difference in the length of chromosomes. (stackexchange.com)
  • Valenzuela has studied temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), or the way environmental temperatures influence whether a turtle embryo develops into a male or female in species that lack sex chromosomes, in previous research. (newswise.com)
  • The proposal to develop genetic sexing strains described in this paper takes advantage of the fact that in Lepidoptera, the female is the heterogametic sex, with most species possessing a WZ sex chromosome pair, while the males are ZZ. (usda.gov)
  • Many animals have a pair of sex chromosomes which determines whether their offspring will be male or female. (britishcheloniagroup.org.uk)
  • The female gamete has only X chromosomes, the unfertilised eggs each carrying an X chromosome. (britishcheloniagroup.org.uk)
  • Birds, some amphibia and a few insects also have XX and XY sex chromosomes but here the sexes are reversed, the male being homogametic (XX) and the female heterogametic (XY). (britishcheloniagroup.org.uk)
  • Most fishes and some amphibia have chromosomes which appear undifferentiated and the development of either male or female offspring depends on small differences between a pair of like chromosomes. (britishcheloniagroup.org.uk)
Found5
  • The other authors of this study, Dr Yoshihiko Suzuki, former postdoctoral scholar in OIST's Algorithms for Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics and now at the University of Tokyo and Dr Takeuchi reconstructed all 28 chromosomes and found key differences between the two chromosomes of one pair-chromosome pair 9. (thefishsite.com)
  • Instead of doubling up to protect its genetic cargo like other chromosomes, the lone Y safeguards its genes by having sex with itself, an international consortium has found. (urbandictionary.com)
  • In reptiles, sex chromosomes have been found in many snakes, several lizards and a few terrapins (Kinosternidae). (britishcheloniagroup.org.uk)
  • We have previously found empirical evidence for antagonistic coevolution between the sex chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster (see Lund-Hansen et al 2021, https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2003359118 ) and are now interested in determining how expression is altered in males with mis-matched sex chromosomes. (lu.se)
  • A few other serogroups have been found to carry cholera toxin genes-most notably, O139, O75, and O141-and public health surveillance in the United States is focused on these four serogroups. (cdc.gov)
Thymine2
  • Adenine (A) is one of the four nucleotide bases in DNA, with the other three being cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). Within a double-stranded DNA molecule, adenine bases on one strand pair with thymine bases on the opposite strand. (genome.gov)
  • In the steps, adenine is paired with thymine and guanine is paired with cytosine. (msdmanuals.com)

Recombination1
  • Recombination refers to the trading of DNA between chromosome pairs. (helix.com)
Species4
  • Burrowing through the soil of western Asia are two species of these rodents (Ellobius tancrei and E. lutescens) that have lost all the genes from their Y chromosome--in fact, they no longer have a Y chromosome at all. (urbandictionary.com)
  • If our species manages to survive for another 10 million years, our descendants will go on making men even after their Y chromosome vanishes. (urbandictionary.com)
  • The holokinetic chromosomes of Lepidoptera respond differently to radiation than do species where there is a localized centromere. (usda.gov)
  • The fact that transgenesis can now be carried out in several lepidopteran species opens up new possibilities to develop genetic sexing strains. (usda.gov)

  • The secondary structure of TMEM53 is predicted to consist of alternating pairs of alpha helices and beta sheets . (wn.com)
Dosage compensation3
  • What is sex chromosome dosage compensation? (newswise.com)
  • Sex chromosome dosage compensation comes into play for individuals who have mismatched sex chromosomes. (newswise.com)
  • The study represents not only the first such study to analyze sex chromosome dosage compensation in turtles, but the findings also show that remarkably, temperature appears to affect the SCDC process in the turtles. (newswise.com)
Genetic disorder1
  • It arises from having three copies of chromosome 21 and is a genetic disorder in that some of the genes on this chromosome must produce the features of Down syndrome. (ucl.ac.uk)
Made1
  • Co-corresponding author, Professor Matthew Walker (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology), added: "Chromosome 21 is made up of hundreds of genes but we only worked with a mouse with 37 of them duplicated. (ucl.ac.uk)
Defect1
  • These conditions are described as genetic diseases because a defect in one or more genes or chromosomes leads to a pathological condition. (who.int)
