Summary

Each organism has two copies of each chromosome; in the case of sex chromosomes this can be either XX (female) or XY (male).

Fun Facts

The movement of energy among living entities in an ecosystem is referred to as energy flow. The division of all living things into producers and consumers, and the subsequent organisation of these producers and consumers into a food chain, are both possible.
