X and Y chromosomes
X and Y chromosomes, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Humans have 46 chromosomes in total: 23 inherited from the mother and 23 from the father. These sex chromosomes determine the individuals gender. Males have an X sex chromosome (pink) and a Y sex chromosome (blue) and females have two X sex chromosomes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of X and Y chromosomes, which play a crucial role in determining an individual's gender. The image, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals the mesmerizing details of these genetic components. With humans possessing 46 chromosomes in total, half inherited from each parent, it is fascinating to observe how sex chromosomes differentiate between males and females. Males possess one X sex chromosome depicted in pink and one Y sex chromosome illustrated in blue. On the other hand, females have two X sex chromosomes. The black background enhances the visual impact of this print, allowing us to focus solely on these tiny yet powerful entities that hold the key to our biological makeup. Each chromosome represents a unique code encoded with genes that shape our physical attributes and characteristics. As we delve into this microscopic world through SEM technology, we gain insight into the complexity of human biology at its core. This image serves as a reminder of how DNA strands intertwine within each chromatid to form these distinct pairs - an exquisite dance orchestrated by nature itself. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with a remarkable glimpse into the wonders of genetics and human chromosomal architecture through their exceptional collection.
