Klinefelter syndrome: males inherit one or more extra X chromosomes--their genotype is XXY or more rarely XXXY or XY/XXY mosaic. In severe cases, they have relatively high-pitched voices, asexual to feminine body contours as well as breast enlargement, and comparatively little facial and body hair. They are sterile or nearly so, and their testes and prostate gland are small.

∙ 10y agoIf a person has a chromosome count as "xxy", which is both female and male, then which is he, male or female? or both "xx SHE - xy MALE, i believe that when you disect this question your answer would be "SHEMALE"

∙ 10y agoAn embryo is neither male nor female. It's the fertilized egg, so it's sperm plus egg or male plus female. But once fertilization has happened, the sex of the sperm and egg are meaningless and you're left with a sexless embryo.
An embryo grows in the flower's ovary which is a female part, but the embryo itself isn't female.

Among vertebrates an animal carrying XY as its sex chromosomes is biologically a male. (I include "biologically" to avoid the topic of human transgenders.)

What is the genotype of a male and female?
These genotypes are determined by a human's 23rd pair of chromosomes. If the subject is female, she has two X's reading XX. If it is male, then his genotype will read XY. There is a 50-50 shot of each. This is because a woman donates one chromosome (she only has two X's so it is inevitable that she will donate an X), and a man donates one of his. If a man donates his 'X' then there will be two X's and the child will be female. If he donates his 'Y' then the child will be male.Male is XY, female is XX. There are, however, other genotypes (XXY, XXX, XO...) and not all people have a phenotype that goes with their genotype.

How do females pick the males in sexual selection?
it doesnt matter if you are a female and you want a female mate you can have a girlfriend when your a girl. if you want a male and you are a female then you can choose a male it doesnt matter if you are a female and you want a female mate you can have a girlfriend when your a girl. if you want a male and you are a female then you can choose a male
What is a male and a female in one body?
an organism having both male and female reproductive organs is called hermaphrodite.
What is the percentage of male scientists versus female scientists?
The ratio of male scientists to female scientists is approximately 3 to 1, or roughly 70% male to 30% female.
Can humans only be male and female?
No, there is a condition called XXY where it is a cross over of male and female. Other than that, yes male and female are the standard.
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 is the ratio of a baby being male or female?
The ratio of a human baby being a male to being a female is 1:1.That means that the baby has a 50% of being a male, and a 50% of being a female.A male human has the genotype of XY.A female human has the genotype of XX.Some mutated organisms have an XXY or XYY for a genotype.
How many sexes are possible in chromosomes?
There are seven possible genetic sexes: XX = female XY = male X = female with Turner syndrome XXX = female with X-trisomy XXY = intersex with Klinefelter syndrome XYY = male with 47,XYY syndrome XXYY = male with 48,XXYY syndrome
Describe how the karyotype of an XXY human would differ from that of an XO human?
The karyotype of an XO human would be deficient one X chromosome, compared to that of a normal female, and it would result in a female. Normal human females only use one X chromosome, whereby one is inactivated, which is why an XO human is viable. An XXY human would have one extra X chromosome as compared to that of a normal male, and it would result in a male. Again, an X chromosome is inactivated, which is why an XXY human is viable. XO is referred to as Turner Syndrome. XXY is referred to as Klinefelter Syndrome.
What would a male with the sex chromosomes xxy have?
Kleinfelter's syndrome.
What are the physical traits of the human aneuploidy XXY?
The human is classified a male. Physical traits include male sex organs, but small testes. They are sterile. Can have some breast enlargement and other female characteristics which are common.
What happens when a male has xxy sex chromosomes?
Nondisjunction will occur . Yep
Does a cat's coloring indicate gender?
Sort of. A Calico cat is almost always (99.9% of the time) going to be female. The reason is that the female has two X genes, one has to carry red and the other black to get the 3 color effect. For a male to be a calico, it has to have XXY and is normally sterile.
What chromosome is klinefelters syndrome located on?
they have a extra chromosome, a normal male is XY, a male with klinefelters is XXY.
Is a male with XXY chromosome combination a normal male or sterile male?
The principal effects are development of small testicles and reduced fertility.
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.
