if you have a Y chromosome
, you are male.
if only a X chromosome then you are a female.
Ex.
XY, XXY, XYY, XXXXY, etc. - MALE
X, XX, XXX, XXXX, etc. - FEMALE

What type of disorder is klinefelters syndrome gene or chromosomal?
Chromosomal, because the person with Klinefelter's would have 47 chromosomes. A genetic disorder would be any disorder having to do with genes, but would not necessarily mean having an extra chromosome.
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes is a?
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through the chromosomes or genes is a genetic disorder.
Is usher syndrome a gene or chromosomal?
Usher syndrome is a relatively rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation. The gene is not carried on one of the sex chromosomes (X or Y).
What is the chromosomal locus of progeria?
Progeria causes you to have missing chromosomes in your body function
Turners syndrome is what type of disorder?
Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder.
What is the causes of chromosomal disorder?
Chromosomal disorders are caused by abnormalities in the chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a human nerve cell?
Humans have 46 chromosomes in their nerve cells, unless they have a chromosomal disorder. With the exception of the reproductive cells, which only carry half the chromosomal DNA, all human cells have the same amount of chromosomes.

An abnormal condition that a person inherits through the chromosomes or genes is a genetic disorder.
How does nondisjunction cause chromosomal disorders?
Nondisjunction is the disappointment of homologous chromosomes to detach accurately during meiosis. This outcomes in the creation of gametes containing a more noteworthy or lesser chromosomal sum than typical ones. Therefore the individual might create a trisomal or monosomal condition.
What are some chromosomal disorders?
The most common type of chromosomal disorder is the Down syndrome caused by an added copy of chromosomes 21. More common chromosomal disorders are Klinefelter's syndrome and Turnerâ??s syndrome.
Is usher syndrome a gene or chromosomal?
Usher syndrome is a relatively rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation. The gene is not carried on one of the sex chromosomes (X or Y).
What is the chromosomal locus of progeria?
Progeria causes you to have missing chromosomes in your body function
Turners syndrome is what type of disorder?
Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder.
Is Epilepsy a chromosomal disorder?
No. See the related question below.
Which type of chromosomal disorder seems to have the greatest affect on a Pearsons health and why would this be the case?
autosomal disorder
What is a punnet square for Down syndrome?
Down Syndrome is not represented by a punnett square because it is not a genetic disorder. Instead, it is a chromosomal disorder. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes adding to a total of 46 chromosomes. Individuals who have Down Syndrome have a total of 47 chromosomes because instead of having a set of 2 #21 chromosomes, he/she has 3 #21 chromosomes. This is a result of nondisjunction which can occur during meiosis. During meiosis, the chromosomal number is supposed to be halved. During nondisjunction, all of the homologous chromosomes (matching chromosomes from mom and dad) do not separate during meiosis. In the case of Down Syndrome, the #21 chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis. This results in an egg or sperm cell having one less or one more chromosome #21. If a normal egg or sperm forms a zygote with a egg or sperm that has an extra #21 chromosome, the resulting person will have Down Syndrome, also called Trisomy 21. The same thing can happen for other chromosomes, resulting in a different disorder. This question has been improved by another user: actually, this is both a genetic disorder and a chromosomal disorder. It is a genetic disorder because this disorder is often transmitted from one (or both) of the parents to their young. It is possible to make a punnett square, however there is a better way to do this, which is why you probably will not find a punnett square of this disease online. The better way is by using a karyotype. I know this because i am in a 9th grade bio honors class and i have been studying this disease for over 2 weeks now.. hi yea no your wrong because down syndrome is a genetic disorder :)
