Human males and females have the same number of chromosomes - 23 pairs, for a total of 46. The difference is that males have a pairing of chromosomes that is "XY," whereas females have a pairing that is "XX" that determines gender.

∙ 14y agoWhich gene? That's not really a proper question but I can tell you whose Chromosome is stronger...
Female...
The reason is because if you take a thermal image of a male and females sex chromosome, and place them together, the females' dwafs the males' in size, structure, and overall activity. Which, I think applies to genes too. So there you have it.

Is Gene a male or a female name?
Gene is a male name
A male with a missing SRY gene would be phenotypically?
female
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.
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 does a female with a gene for a sex-linked disorder usually appear normal?
A female with a gene for a genetic disorder will usually only have it on one of her two X chromosomes. The other chromosome will carry the healthy version of the gene, which will carry out that gene's function when the other chromosome cannot. Males will exhibit the disease if they have the gene as a male human only has one X chromosome. So, in order for a female to have a genetic disorder carried on her sex chromosome her mother would have to have the defective gene and her father would have the disorder.
What is the stronger of two genes said to be?
Male and female genes combine to determine different traits of the offspring. The dominant gene is another term for the stronger gene.

What is a the male and female genotype?
The genotype for a male is XY. A female is XX. The 23rd homologous pair is the sex gene that determines this.
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 determines if you are male or female?
TDF (testicular determining factor) is a gene found on the Y chromosome that will determine if one is male or female. If it is present, one is a male. If it is absent, one is a female.
