The word truncated means "shorten." When a baby is truncated, it means that it has been shortened. For further questions, speak to your pediatrician.

A human baby is born with two X chromosomes. What must be true about this baby?

the baby is a female


If the mom is gray and if the male is brown then does that mean that if there was a baby that was gray does that mean it is a girl and if the baby is brown then does that mean the baby will be a boy?

No, it does not. Your parents pass on 50% of your DNA each through the chromosomes in the sex cells (egg and sperm). Depending on which gene is the more dominant, either the 'Grey Eye Gene' or the 'Brown Eye Gene' will determine the ultimate eye colour of the baby (majority of babies eye colour changes after a couple of weeks). The gender of the baby depends on whether both parents have passed on an 'X' chromosome, or whether one (believed to be the father) has passed on a 'Y' Chromosome. It is not related to the same gene that causes eye colour. My sister and I have Blue Eyes, inherited from my father as his gene was more dominant in that area in the DNA passed to us. My brother, from the same two parents, has Brown Eyes inherited from my mother, who in that instance had the more dominant gene.

How do testosterone levels impact the gender of a baby?

Testosterone levels do not directly impact the gender of a baby. The gender of a baby is determined by the chromosomes inherited from the parents. Specifically, the presence of a Y chromosome from the father will result in a male baby, while the absence of a Y chromosome will result in a female baby. Testosterone levels may influence the development of male characteristics in a baby after conception, but they do not determine the baby's gender.


Who determines the sex of the baby in humans?

The father determines the sex of the baby in humans. Sperm cells contain either an X or Y chromosome, and the sperm that fertilizes the egg will determine the sex of the baby. If the sperm carries an X chromosome, the baby will be female, and if it carries a Y chromosome, the baby will be male.
