Yes, an embryo can develop with one X chromosome, rather than the XX or XY chromosome pair. An example of this is girls born with Turner's syndrome, who have only one X chromosome.

What chromosome tells us the sex of a human?
The X and Y sex chromosomes. If the embryo inherits an X and Y chromosome, it will be male. If the embryo inherits two X chromosomes, it will be female.
What is X chromosome?
The x chromosome is one of the sex chromosomes, the other being the y chromosome. In mammals there are two of the sex chromosomes in each organism. Females generally contain two x chromosomes, and males contain one x chromosome and one y chromosome.
If a baby has one Y chromosome and one X chromosome what sex is it?
It is a male.
Why don't males have Barr bodies?
Both Male and Female have the barr body, but in different chromosones. The above statement is INCORRECT. Barr bodies are formed mainly in females due to females having two X chromosomes while males normally have only one X chromosome (and a Y chromosome). The Barr body is formed from the inactive X chromosome. Males can sometimes be born with a mutation of having too many X chromosomes, in which case Barr Bodies would also be found in those specific males which typically causes Klinefelter's Syndrome.
What kind of chromosomes do male transmit to offspring?
Males transmit one X chromosome and one Y chromosome to their offspring. There are very few genes carried on the Y chromosome.
Why does an embryo with 2 X chromosomes develop into a female?
since it "lacks" a Y chromosome, the production of testosterone is low and the baby develops female.
What chromosome tells us the sex of a human?
The X and Y sex chromosomes. If the embryo inherits an X and Y chromosome, it will be male. If the embryo inherits two X chromosomes, it will be female.
What determines whether the indifferent gonads in a mammalian embryo will develop into ovaries or testes?
It probably has to do with the predetermination of the baby's sex. If the father contributed a Y chromosome, then the indifferent gonads would develop into testes. If an X was contributed then they would develop into ovaries.
In humans a zygote will develop into a male it the?
egg contributes an X chromosome and the sperm contributes a Y chromosome.
In humans a male has?
one X chromosome and one Y chromosome
What is X chromosome?
The x chromosome is one of the sex chromosomes, the other being the y chromosome. In mammals there are two of the sex chromosomes in each organism. Females generally contain two x chromosomes, and males contain one x chromosome and one y chromosome.
Men have one of y?
The y chromosome. The chromosome pair that determine sex (gender) can have x and y chromosomes; men have one X and one Y chromosome, women have to X chromosomes.
If a baby has one Y chromosome and one X chromosome what sex is it?
It is a male.
What sex chromosome is present in all humans?
There are two sex chromosomes: the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. During fertilization, the mother always gives an X chromosome and the father gives either another X chromosome or a Y chromosome. Therefore, all humans have at least one X chromosome.
What cause the female fetus to develop differently from the male fetus?
The female fetus has a Y chromosome while the fetus only has two x chromosome.
Which sex cell controls the sex of a baby?
I will explain, but I don't know why you put this in cat behavior. The X chromosome and Y chromosome control gender. If an embryo's two chromosomes are XX, it will be a girl. If the chromosomes are XY, it will be male. A pair of chromosomes have to have at least one X chromosome in it, but can also have a Y chromosome.
Is an x chromosome and chromosome the same thing?
An x chromosome is specifically a feminine chromosome. With a x and y chromosome its male, with a x and x, it is a female.
