No, a Y chromosome must be attached to an X in order to create anything, in this case a male. Think of the X as the starting point, and you can either add another X or a Y to make a female or a male.

Yes, it is possible. A male may develop from a sperm that has not developed normally in the father. He may end up with XYY. It is rare, but it is possible.

What is meant by xx xy yx yy?

How many chromosomes are there in sex cells and why?

22 pair of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. A male determines the sex with XY chromosomes and the female only has YY. 23; half of the normal 46 for a cell. This is so when the male and female cells meet, they will form a normal 46-chromosome cell.


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.
