Chiral chromosomes.
Size, generally. The X chromosome looks like an X and is smaller than the somatic chromosomes. The Y chromosome is a shrimp, comparatively, so it is always easy to spot.

An X chromosome is known as an X chromosome based on its shape, which resembles an X. The Y chromosome resembles a Y.
It is on the X Chromosome (male have XY chromosome Females have XX Chromosome)
The numbering of chromosomes is based on their size, with the largest chromosome typically designated as "Chromosome 1" and the smallest as "Chromosome 22." This numbering system is not indicative of importance, but rather serves as a way to differentiate and identify each chromosome.
Nucleotide < DNA < Chromosome < Cell < Nucleus.
The average size of a chromosome in humans is about 150 million base pairs, which corresponds to approximately 50-250 megabases in length.
The size of the chromosome pair determines its number. The largest chromosome pair is given the number 1, followed by the second-largest pair with the number 2, and so on.
No. An 'X' chromosome looks like an 'X'. The 'Y' chromosome looks like a deformed 'X'. It is noticeably different to an 'X' chromosome. Also, the 'Y' chromosome is only a third of the size of an 'X' chromosome - an 'X' chromosome is 155 million base pares, while the 'Y' chromosome is only 58 million base pairs.
Yes, animals have chromosome 21. It may vary in size or gene content depending on the species. In humans, chromosome 21 is associated with conditions such as Down syndrome.

A broken part of a chromosome that becomes attached to a nonhomologous chromosome without molecular loss is known as a translocation. This can lead to genetic disorders if the translocated segment disrupts the function of important genes located on the chromosome.
An allosome is a sex chromosome which differs from an ordinary autosome in form, size, or behaviour.
The short sex chromosome in fruit flies, known as the Y chromosome, carries genes related to male traits and fertility. It determines the sex of the offspring when paired with an X chromosome. In evolutionary terms, the Y chromosome has undergone significant degeneration, leading to a size reduction and loss of genetic material compared to the X chromosome.
