Cell Biology Interview Question:

What is the other name given to sex chromosomes? What is the function of sex chromosomes?

Submitted by: Administrator

Sex chromosomes are also called allosomes (the other chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes are called autosomes).

Sex chromosomes get such name because they have genes that determine the sex (male or female) of an individual. Sex chromosomes also have genes related to other biological functions.
