allosomes/heterosomes Correct Ans-- are sex chromosomes that are different from


autosomes in form, behavior and size

present in the sperm

- if the offspring receives X chromosome from the mother as well as father, it results in a


female child (XX)


- if the offspring receives one X and one Y chromosome from the parents, it results in a male


child (XY)
