X VS Y CHROMOSOMES. “TE accumulation may occur on the X as well as the Y chromosome. In dioecious plants so far studied genetically, recombination occurs in both sexes, as in mammals. The X chromosome thus has a lower recombination frequency than the autosomes, because X chromosomes recombine only in females.” (TE = transposable elements).
