1. X chromosome

   The X chromosome is one of the two sex-determining chromosomes (allosomes) in many organisms, including mammals (the other is the Y chromosome), and is found in both males and females. It is a part of the XY sex-determination system and XO sex-determination system. The X chromosome was named for its unique properties by early researchers, which resulted in the naming of its counterpart Y chromosome, for the next letter in the alphabet, following its subsequent discovery.

1. x chromosome

   The X chromosome is one of the two sex-determining chromosomes in many animal species, including humans. It is present in both males and females, typically with two copies in females (XX) and one in males (XY). The X chromosome carries a larger number of genes compared to the Y chromosome, and is associated with several genetic conditions, including color blindness and certain types of hemophilia.
