What is the function of the gene SRY?
located on the Y chromosome and codes for a protein that regulates genes that control development of testes
Testis-determining factor is found in or on?
Testis-determining factor (TDF) is found on the Y chromosome of mammals. It is a gene called SRY (sex-determining region Y) that plays a crucial role in the development of testes and the determination of male sex characteristics.
What gene determine a man's hair?
The gene that determines a man's hair is on the x chromosome.
The amelogenin gene can be used to determine?
Gender
What carries the gene that determine sex?
the answer is sex chromosomes
Is the SRY gene responsible for testosterone?
Indirectly. The SRY gene is responsible for activating the gene responsible for testosterone production (thereby causing 'maleness' in a developing foetus).
What is the sry gene?
The SRY gene is a gene on the Y chromosome required for the development of testes. It stands for Sex determining Region on Y chromosome.
Why testes descends down in human male fetus before birth?
Look up the SRY gene located on the sex chromosomes. The SRY gene when turned on in epistatis controls that.
Expression of the SRY gene causes an embryo to develop what?
Into a Male
A male with a missing SRY gene would be phenotypically?
female
Describe where the human SRY gene resides and its significance?
It is the gene on the Y chromosome important for male development.
Is it possible for an XY embryo to develop as a female if the SRY gene on the Y chromosome is not present?
In humans, yes.By default, humans are female. A functional SRY gene stimulates the body to produce male characteristics that override the underlying female pattern. If the SRY gene is absent (or, as sometimes happens, mutated) an individual who is chromosomally XY will develop as a female. This is one cause of Swyer syndrome.

Why is cancer always a genetic disease?
because it is an inactive gene that is passed down by the parent and it can be triggered... i think.... sry.. lol hope it helped
