Turner Syndrome
Turner Syndrome
Recessive gene of X chromosome. more common in men as they have only one x chromosome but in female there are 2 X chromosome. If one of X chromosome in female has this recessive gene, they become a carrier. If both the X chromosome in female has this gene, they show baldness
XO
The XO condition is known as Turner's Syndrome.
X chromosome only
The female fetus has a Y chromosome while the fetus only has two x chromosome.
sex-linked disorders
A female with a gene for a genetic disorder will usually only have it on one of her two X chromosomes. The other chromosome will carry the healthy version of the gene, which will carry out that gene's function when the other chromosome cannot. Males will exhibit the disease if they have the gene as a male human only has one X chromosome. So, in order for a female to have a genetic disorder carried on her sex chromosome her mother would have to have the defective gene and her father would have the disorder.
What differentiates a male from a female based off the chromosomes that are present is that a male organism will have X and Y chromosomes whereas a female organism will have X and X chromosomes.
X Chromosome results in a female Y Chromosome results in a male All sperm are either going to be an X or Y chromosome All eggs are X chromosome only
They could be female ;)
In males, sperm contain only one sex chromosome. In females, eggs contain only one sex chromosome.
