What are two types of chromosomes in the body how are they different?

the two types of chromatins are euchromatin and heterochromatin.They are different in that heterochromatin is coiled while euchromatin is not coiled.It is this coiling that makes heterochromatin inactive and therefore less in the nucleus when the nucleus is actively involved in protein synthesis.On the other hand,euchromatin is active because its DNA is exposed.
When viewed under a microscope,the two chromatins have different stains.

One type of chromosome is autosomes, which carry genetic information unrelated to gender. The other type is sex chromosomes, which determine an individual's sex (XX for females and XY for males). Both types of chromosomes contain genes that determine traits and characteristics.

∙ 16y agoYour body cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes. In each pair, one chromosome comes from your mother and one from your father. The 23 pairs of chromosomes can be divided into two types: autosomes and sex chromosomes. Autosomes are chromosomes which control features that can be the same in males and females. For example your eye colour, hair colour and blood group genes are carried on autosomes. Of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in your cells, 22 pairs are autosomes. The remaining pair of chromosomes are the sex chromosomes. These control the differences between males and females. There are two types of sex chromosomes, called X chromosomes and Y chromosomes. If you have two X chromosomes in your cells (XX) you are a female. If you have one X and one Y chromosome (XY) you are a male. X chromosomes are larger than Y chromosomes.

When DNA is combined from two different sources what kind of organism does it produce?
If the two different sources of DNA are a sperm and egg cell, they produce a diploid organism, which means that it has two sets of chromosomes in its body cells.
How many chromosome's in a plant cell?
A plant cell typically contains multiple sets of chromosomes, which can vary depending on the species. Most common plant species are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. However, there are also species that are polyploid with more than two sets of chromosomes.
How many sex chromosomes are there in each body cell?
There are typically two sex chromosomes in each body cell, one inherited from each parent. In males, the sex chromosomes are XY, while in females, they have two X chromosomes.
What are the names of the two different types of meiosis?
The two types of meiosis are meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I involves homologous chromosomes separating, while meiosis II involves sister chromatids separating.
Suppose that the great green galoofus lizard has fifty-two chromosomes in the nucleus of its body or somatic cells. How many chromosomes will be in the unfertilized egg of a great green galoofus lizar?
Body cells are diploid, which means they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, both egg and sperm cells, are haploid, which means they have one set of chromosomes. So if the body cells have 56 chromosomes, the unfertilized egg would have 28 chromosomes.
Are chromosomes and sex cells the two major cells in your body?
No. Chromosomes are parts of cells, and sex cells are just one of many types of cells.
What are the two types of cells in the body that do not contain 23 pairs of chromosomes?
egg cells and sperm cells
A parental cell has two pairs of homologues How many different combinations of chromosomes can occur among the gametes?
4 types
What two types of organelles provide a pathway for the chromosomes?
it you

What are the two major groups of cells in the human body?
There are three types of embryonic cells; endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. In the human body there are many different types of cells, more than two. They are grouped into tissue types. We have four different tissues; connective, nervous, muscular, and epithelial. The two major groups of cell types in the human body are somatic cells and gamete cells.
What cell has homologous chromosomes?
A diploid cell has homologous chromosomes. Diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent. The homologous chromosomes have similar genes in the same order, but may have different versions of those genes.
How many types of muscle actions or movements?

What two types of paired cell structures are copied?
Chromosomes and centromeres.
