What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
What is the sry gene?
The SRY gene, also known as the sex-determining region Y gene, plays a critical role in the development of male characteristics in mammals. It is located on the Y chromosome and is responsible for initiating the development of the male reproductive system during embryogenesis. Mutations or abnormalities in the SRY gene can lead to disorders of sex development.
An expressed gene is one that what?
a gene being expressed means it is shown, for example if you have the gene for brown eyes and the gene for blue eyes, only one can be expressed. if you have brown eyes that gene is expressed, if not the blue-eye gene is expressed.
Which specific gene, if any, is located on a sex chromosome?
The specific gene located on the sex chromosomes is the SRY gene, which is responsible for determining male sex characteristics.
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.
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).
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.

What happens to a gene for a protein that is not used much in the cell?
Nothing "happens" to it. When a gene is not actively being copied or expressed it is folded up and stored till it is needed again.
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
Is an expressed gene turned off?
No. If a gene is expressed, it is turned on.
Which parts of a gene are expressed as protein?
Coding sequences of a gene are expressed as protein
An expressed gene is one that what?
a gene being expressed means it is shown, for example if you have the gene for brown eyes and the gene for blue eyes, only one can be expressed. if you have brown eyes that gene is expressed, if not the blue-eye gene is expressed.
What does it mean for a gene to be off?
How is a gene not expressed
Which specific gene, if any, is located on a sex chromosome?
The specific gene located on the sex chromosomes is the SRY gene, which is responsible for determining male sex characteristics.
