Ykromosoom
Ykromosoom, commonly referred to as the Y chromosome, is one of the two sex chromosomes in humans and many other species with the XY sex-determination system. In mammals, males typically possess one Y chromosome paired with one X, while females have two X chromosomes. The Y chromosome carries genes that influence male development and spermatogenesis, and it is inherited from father to son with relatively little recombination.
Anatomy and gene content: The human Y chromosome is considerably smaller than the X chromosome and contains
Functions and significance: Beyond sex determination, Y-linked genes contribute to spermatogenesis and male fertility in many
