What would a male with the sex chromosomes xxy have?
Kleinfelter's syndrome.
What happens when a male has xxy sex chromosomes?
Nondisjunction will occur . Yep
What are the sex chromosomes of male human being?
Normal male humans have the sex chromosomes XY. The presence of the Y chromosome determines sex in humans - so a person with XXY will be male.
How many sex chromosomes does a male embryo have?
An embryo, male or female, usually has two sex chromosomes, one from mom, one from dad. In a male's case, they would be XY. Rarely, nondisjunction occurs, and a child winds up XXX, XXY, XYY, or X. XXX and X become female, and XXY and XYY become male. So, it is theoretically possible for a male embryo to have three sex chromosomes.
What combinations of sex chromosomes produces a female?
It is the father's contribution that determines the sex of the offspring. Of the XX and XY pairs that determine sex, the mother always contributes an X. If the father contributes an X as well, the offspring is female. If the father contributes a Y, the offspring is male.

Does a child born to a father with xxy chromosomes also inherit the xxy?
No. Do to the fact that when parents pass on the genes the father only ever gives the Y. What happens in XXY is that for some reason the mother gives both X's or potentially their is a defect with the replication of the cell during development. So while their is a small chance it is not very likely. Also you have to realize the a male with XXY is most likely going to be sterile, however this is not always the case.

What is a baby's gender if he or she has XXY sex chromosomes?
Male - in humans the sex is determined by the presence of a Y chromosome. In other animals sex can be determined by the ratio of sex chromosomes, or the total number of chromosomes.

It is the father's contribution that determines the sex of the offspring. Of the XX and XY pairs that determine sex, the mother always contributes an X. If the father contributes an X as well, the offspring is female. If the father contributes a Y, the offspring is male.
Can a karyotype reveal turner syndrome?
Yes. A karyotype will show the chromosomes and an affected person will have XXY instead of XY for a normal male.
The sex chromosome composition of a person with klinefelter syndrome is?
XXY. Klinefelter is caused when the X chromosomes of the mother fail to split, or an XY sperm reaches an X egg, resulting in a mostly male child.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two X chromosomes is fertilized by a sperm carrying on Y chromosome?
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
How many chromosomes are in klinefelter's syndrome?
It is estimated that about in in 500 men have Klinefelter's syndrome.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two chromosomes X is fertilized by a sperm carrying one Y chromosome?
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
