Why is it not possible for an individual to have a XY chromosomes?
About half of us DO have an XY chromosome. Males. XX chromosomes are female.
What do the genetic codes xx and xy mean?
There are 22 autosomal chromosomes and 2 sex chromosomes in humans. In all the other chromosomes, the homologous pairs match up genetic loci. However, in human sex chromosomes the X and Y chromosome are different (with the X chromosome being much larger and the Y chromosome carrying genes that cause "maleness"). Someone with an X and a Y chromosome is a male because he has a Y chromosome that carries the genes that code for "maleness". Females "lack" this Y chromosome, and thus show characteristic female phenotypes.
How do you enter only diagonal elements in c plus plus?
Matrices have two diagonals: main diagonal and anti-diagonal. The main diagonal runs from top-left to bottom-right. For square matrix A: // main diagonal: for (size_t xy=0; xy<A.size(); ++xy) cin >> A[xy][xy]; // anti-diagonal for (size_t x = A.size()-1, y=0; y<A.size(); --x; ++y cin >> A[x][y];
Where is genetic information in the nucleus stored?
Genetic information is stored in the chromosomes.
What structures in the nucleus contain 99.5 percent of cell's genetic information?
the chromosomes
What is the phenotype for XY?
xy chromosomes mostly fall on male gender.
Which pair of chromosomes tells your gender?
Sex chromosomes (XX = female and XY = male)
The 23rd pair of human chromosomes tells the gender with xx being and xy being male which gender is karyotype?
XX is Female XY is Male
What determine's a persons gender?
The sex chromosomes. XX is female and XY is male.
What gender inherits the y-linked trait?
male, their sex chromosomes are XY, females are always XX
What types of chromosomes in humans determines the gender of the baby?
The sex chromosomes...XX for a female, XY for a male, with some other relatively rare variations.
How do the made chromosomes differ from those of the female?
most of the chromosomes are the same, regardless of gender. the 23rd chromosome pair in males is XY and in females it's XX.
What chromosomes determine a person gender?
Xy chromosomes= boy xx chromosomes= female
What determines a Mendelian trait?
Chromosomes do not have a sex/gender but determine it. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).
Does the egg sperm determine the gender of a human child?
The sperm. The egg is always an XX chromosome and the sperm can either by XX or XY if the sperm is XX it will be a girl if it is XY it will be a boy.Edit: Actually, all girls have XX chromosomes, and all boys have XY chromosomes. But eggs and sperm are gametes with half the chromosomes of the parents. So all eggs have X chromosomes, and sperm can have either an X or a Y chromosome.(So your intention in the answer was right, but just a small technical error.)
Is the chromosomes xy or yx?
The chromosome is xy.
What is combination of chromosomes XY for fraternal twins?
If two fraternal twins have the XY sex chromosomes, they will be male.
