| 설명 | 1. 대부분의 종의 동물 및 식물에서 볼 수 있으며, 개체가 만든 접합자형에 의해서, 또는 개체의 기준에 따라서 나누어지는 기본적 차이. 난자 또는 대배우자는 여성에 의해서 만들어지고, 정자 또는 소배우자는 남성에 의해서 만들어지며, 이들 상이한 생식세포의 결합은 유성생식에 있어서 새로운 개체를 생산하는 데 자연적인 필수조건이 된다. 2. 남성과 여성, 수컷과 암컷의 구별. 또는 남성이나 여성의 육체적 특징. |

| 설명 | 암수의 성을 결정하는 데 중요한 구실을 하는 염색체. 이것에 대하여 보통의 염색체를 보통염색체라고 한다. 암수의 구별이 있는 생물에서는 암수에 따라 다른 형과 수를 나타내는 염색체이며, 보통염색체에 비해 염색성이나 행동에서 차이가 있다. 특히 동물의 성염색체는 그런 경향이 강하다. 휴지기 및 핵분열 전기에 뚜렷한 이상응축을 나타내며 감수분열 때는 다른 염색체보다 먼저 앞서거나 끌려가는 행동을 보여준다. |

| homogametic sex | <genetics> The gender which has two copies of the same sex chromosome. For example: In humans, the female is homogametic because she is XX (has two copies of the X chromosome). In birds, the male is homogametic because he is ZZ (has two copies of the Z chromosome). Compare: heterogametic sex. (09 Oct 1997) |
| sex | 1. The distinguishing peculiarity of male or female in both animals and plants; the physical difference between male and female; the assemblage of properties or qualities by which male is distinguished from female. 2. One of the two divisions of organic beings formed on the distinction of male and female. 3. <botany> The capability in plants of fertilizing or of being fertilized; as, staminate and pistillate flowers are of opposite sexes. One of the groups founded on this distinction. The sex, the female sex; women, in general. Origin: L. Sexus: cf. F. Sexe. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| sex characteristics | Those characteristics that distinguish one sex from the other. The primary sex characteristics are the ovaries and testes and their related hormones. Secondary sex characteristics are those which are masculine or feminine but not directly related to reproduction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sex chromosome | <genetics> Chromosome that determines the sex of an animal. In humans, where the two sex chromosomes (X and Y) are dissimilar, the female has two X chromosomes and the male is heterogametic (XY). <zoology> In birds, the opposite is the case, the male being XX and the female XY, in many organisms, there is only one sex chromosome and one sex is XX, the other X0. A portion of the X and Y chromosomes is similar and is known as the pseudoautosomal region. (14 Oct 1997) |
| sex chromosome imbalance | Any abnormal pattern of sex chromosomes; e.g., XXY in men with seminiferous tubule dysgenesis, XO in women with Turner's syndrome; rarer patterns of imbalance are XXX, XXXY, and XYY. See: isochromosome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sex chromosomes | The homologous chromosomes that are dissimilar in the heterogametic sex. There are the x chromosome, the y chromosome, and the w, z chromosomes (in animals in which the female is the heterogametic sex (the silkworm moth bombyx mori, for example). In such cases the w chromosome is the female-determining and the male is zz. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sex cords | The gonadal cord's of the embryonic ovary or testis. Synonym: sex cords. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sex cord-stromal tumour | A malignant neoplasm of the ovary or testis. These tumours differentiate toward sex cords (in embryonic gonads) in the form of female (i.e., granulosa and theca) cells, male (i.e., sertoli and leydig) cells, or indifferent elements. In the ovary, sex cord-stromal tumours comprise 5% of all ovarian neoplasms. In the testes, leydig and sertoli cell tumours comprise about 5% of all testicular neoplasms, 10% of which behave in a malignant fashion. (12 Dec 1998) |
