Wood lemming
The wood lemming (Myopus schisticolor) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.

X chromosome
The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in many organisms, including mammals, and is found in both males and females. Y chromosome and x chromosome are chromosomes, chromosomes (human), sex-determination systems and sexual dimorphism.

XK (protein)
XK (also known as Kell blood group precursor) is a protein found on human red blood cells and other tissues which is responsible for the Kx antigen which helps determine a person's blood type.

XX male syndrome
XX male syndrome, also known as de la Chapelle syndrome, is a rare condition in which an individual with a 46,XX karyotype develops a male phenotype.
See Y chromosome and XX male syndrome
XXYY syndrome
XXYY syndrome is a sex chromosome anomaly in which males have 2 extra chromosomes, one X and one Y chromosome.

XY gonadal dysgenesis
XY complete gonadal dysgenesis, also known as Swyer syndrome, is a type of defect hypogonadism in a person whose karyotype is 46,XY.

XY sex-determination system
The XY sex-determination system is a sex-determination system used to classify many mammals, including humans, some insects (Drosophila), some snakes, some fish (guppies), and some plants (Ginkgo tree). Y chromosome and XY sex-determination system are sex-determination systems.

XYY syndrome
XYY syndrome, also known as Jacobs syndrome, is an aneuploid genetic condition in which a male has an extra Y chromosome.

Y chromosome microdeletion
Y chromosome microdeletion (YCM) is a family of genetic disorders caused by missing genes in the Y chromosome. Y chromosome and y chromosome microdeletion are Andrology.
See Y chromosome and Y chromosome microdeletion
Y linkage
Y linkage, also known as holandric inheritance (from Ancient Greek ὅλος hólos, "whole" + ἀνδρός andrós, "male"), describes traits that are produced by genes located on the Y chromosome.

Y-chromosomal Aaron
Y-chromosomal Aaron is the name given to the hypothesized most recent common ancestor of the patrilineal Jewish priestly caste known as Kohanim (singular "Kohen", also spelled "Cohen").
See Y chromosome and Y-chromosomal Aaron
Y-chromosomal Adam
In human genetics, the Y-chromosomal most recent common ancestor (Y-MRCA, informally known as Y-chromosomal Adam) is the patrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) from whom all currently living humans are descended. Y chromosome and y-chromosomal Adam are male.

Y-STR
A Y-STR is a short tandem repeat (STR) on the Y-chromosome.
Zaisan mole vole
The Zaisan mole vole (Ellobius tancrei), or eastern mole vole, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.
See Y chromosome and Zaisan mole vole
ZFX
Zinc finger X-chromosomal protein is a protein that in mammals is encoded by the ZFX gene of the X chromosome.
ZFY
Zinc finger Y-chromosomal protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZFY gene of the Y chromosome. Y chromosome and ZFY are genes on human chromosome Y.
Zinc finger
A zinc finger is a small protein structural motif that is characterized by the coordination of one or more zinc ions (Zn2+) which stabilizes the fold.
See Y chromosome and Zinc finger
ZW sex-determination system
The ZW sex-determination system is a chromosomal system that determines the sex of offspring in birds, some fish and crustaceans such as the giant river prawn, some insects (including butterflies and moths), the schistosome family of flatworms, and some reptiles, e.g. majority of snakes, lacertid lizards and monitors, including Komodo dragons. Y chromosome and ZW sex-determination system are sex-determination systems.
See Y chromosome and ZW sex-determination system
Zygosity
Zygosity (the noun, zygote, is from the Greek "yoked," from "yoke") is the degree to which both copies of a chromosome or gene have the same genetic sequence.
40S ribosomal protein S4, X isoform
40S ribosomal protein S4, X isoform is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPS4X gene.
See Y chromosome and 40S ribosomal protein S4, X isoform
40S ribosomal protein S4, Y isoform 1
40S ribosomal protein S4, Y isoform 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPS4Y1 gene.
See Y chromosome and 40S ribosomal protein S4, Y isoform 1
40S ribosomal protein S4, Y isoform 2
Ribosomal protein S4, Y-linked 2 also known as RPS4Y2 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the RPS4Y2 gene which resides on the Y chromosome. Y chromosome and 40S ribosomal protein S4, Y isoform 2 are genes on human chromosome Y.
See Y chromosome and 40S ribosomal protein S4, Y isoform 2
45,X/46,XY mosaicism
45,X/46,XY mosaicism, also known as X0/XY mosaicism and mixed gonadal dysgenesis, is a mutation of sex development in humans associated with sex chromosome aneuploidy and mosaicism of the Y chromosome.
See Y chromosome and 45,X/46,XY mosaicism
