Description of Chromosome X n Symptoms and characteristics n n The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in humans (the other is the Y chromosome). The sex chromosomes form one of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes in each cell. The X chromosome likely contains 800 to 900 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. There are no symptoms of X Chromosome, But there are some health conditions.

Description of X Chromosome n Who is affected? n n Outlook or quality of life n n Females Human bodys Males Each person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y Chromosome. Many of these genes are located at the ends of each arm of the X chromosome in areas known as the pseudoautosomal regions.
