Female sex chromosomes

Female sex chromosomes. Computer artwork of human X chromosomes (pink). In the background are female gender symbols. The X chromosome is one of two sex chromosomes. Each chromosome is comprised of two matching chromatids that are joined together at an area called a centromere. Each chromosome contains, amongst other things, the genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), and so carries the inherited characteristics of a human. Most human cells contain 46 chromosomes as 23 pairs, of which one pair are the sex chromosomes. A female has two X chromosomes and a male has one X and one Y chromosome

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of female sex chromosomes. In this computer artwork, we are presented with human X chromosomes depicted in a mesmerizing shade of pink. The background is adorned with female gender symbols, emphasizing the significance of these chromosomes in determining one's biological sex. The X chromosome, one of two sex chromosomes, holds a crucial role in our genetic makeup. Comprised of two matching chromatids joined together at a centromere, each chromosome carries the precious DNA that defines our inherited characteristics as humans. Within most human cells lie 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. Amongst these pairs resides the key to sexual dimorphism - the sex chromosomes. Females possess two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome. This stunning illustration not only highlights the fundamental biology behind our gender determination but also underscores the importance of genetics and hereditary traits encoded within our DNA. Each copy of these matched and identical X chromatids represents an indispensable part of who we are as individuals. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific precision and artistic elegance through this image, reminding us all about the wonders hidden within ourselves – from paired symbols to intricately intertwined genetics – waiting to be explored by curious minds.
