This can occur in a very rare condition where genetically the baby is a boy (XY), but during that time of sexual determination (7th week of the pregnancy), the testosterone gene is not turned "on" making the XY baby not a boy but a fully functional girl.

If this fully functional XY girl meets up with a XY boy and they decide to have children, this is what might happen:

XY x XY

  • XX = girl baby - 25% probability
  • XY = boy baby - 50% probability
  • YY = lethal gene -- miscarriage - 25% probability

Do you all start out being female?

This is the theory because all femle ova have female chromosomes.. Sperm have male and female chromosomes. If the sperm containing female chromosomes then nothing changes during fertilization. If male chromosomes, then changes take place to cause the cells to produce a male. There is scientific theory that this may be a cause of homosexuality in that the changes do not occur as expected. But this is only theory. --- They don't necessariy start as female, but they do have female organs. It is the presence of chemicals (due to Y chromosome) that forms the male organs from the female organs later on.

Why are male mutation rates higher than female?

This is because mutations occur in x chromosomes. The male, who has "xy" sex chromosomes, will have the mutation if it is present in the x chromosome. Females, there is a smaller chance because there are two "xx" chromosomes, which reduces the chance that the mutation will be present.


Why do karyotypes always show chromosomes at the point when cell division is about to occur?

They show chromosomes at the point when cell division is about to occur because the chromosomes are condensed and aligned which makes it easy to tell if there are the correct number and configurations of the chromosomes.
