    Glossary X chromosome

    sex chromosome carrying genes essential for various bodily functions

    The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in humans, the other being the Y chromosome. It plays a crucial role in determining an individual's sex, with females typically having two X chromosomes (XX) and males having one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The X chromosome carries a significant number of genes that are essential for various bodily functions, including some that are related to hair growth and conditions like alopecia.
