Females have 2 X chromosomes hope this helps

Answered by katia786 | 2024-06-24

The X chromosome is a crucial sex chromosome in humans, where females have two X chromosomes and males have one X and one Y. It carries many important genes and undergoes X-inactivation in females for dosage compensation. The inheritance patterns of the X chromosome can result in various genetic disorders, especially affecting males more frequently due to their single X chromosome.
