A male with a missing SRY gene would be phenotypically?

A male with a missing SRY gene would typically have a female phenotype because the SRY gene on the Y chromosome is responsible for initiating male development. Without the SRY gene, the individual would develop along the female pathway.


When does female gene dominate the male gene?

There is not really anything called a male or female gene. There are sex chromosomes: X and Y. If a baby has XY (one from each parent), that child will be male. If the baby has XX, a girl is the result. The Y chromosome doesn't actually dominate but it has all the genes that produce male characterics. If a child is born without it, it will be female.


What gene determines whether a human will develop into a male or female?

The Y-chromosome. Think of it this way: Each person contains the genes to be a female. These genes are inherited on the X-chromosome which every normal person has. However, if you have a Y-chromosome, you now posses the genes to make a male, and are thus will be a male.


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.


How is the X chromosome involved with sex determination?

The X chromosome contains genes that play a role in both male and female development, but the Y chromosome carries the key sex-determining gene, SRY. This gene triggers the development of male characteristics. In the absence of the Y chromosome, two X chromosomes typically result in a female.
