The pseudoautosomal regions or PARs are homologous sequences of nucleotides found within the sex chromosomes of species with an XY or ZW mechanism of sex determination. The pseudoautosomal regions get their name because any genes within them (so far at least 29 have been found for humans) are inherited just like any autosomal genes.
