Answer:
the Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome.
Explanation:
The male has an X and Y sex chromosome which is an exception to the general rule that homologous chromosomes are identical as the Y chromosome is smaller thus enabling it to swim faster than the X chromosome. The Y chromosome also has a longer lifespan compared to the X chromosome. The male genotypes is XY. Males are heterogametic as they produce two types of gametes, one carrying the X and the other carrying a Y chromosome.
