Which shows the sex chromosomes in the body cells and in the sex cells in a man? A. Body cells XX, Sex cells All X B. Body cells XY, Sex cells X or Y
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
A man's body cells (somatic cells) have XY sex chromosomes. His sex cells (gametes, sperm) are produced by meiosis and are haploid, so they contain either an X or a Y chromosome.
Hint
Body cells have the full set (XY), gametes have half (X or Y).
