- Recent study has shed light on the dramatic evolution of the Y chromosome, also known as the male sex chromosome.
- Scientists discovered that only 14–27% of Y chromosome regions in different ape species are similar to those in humans.
- This shows that humans and other ape species have evolved very differently.
- X chromosomes, on the other hand, are very different.
- Remarkably, the X chromosome, which is present in both males and females, has remained more stable.
- X and Y chromosomes play roles in sexual development and fertility, along with many other biological functions.
