Why is it not possible for an individual to have a XY chromosomes?

About half of us DO have an XY chromosome. Males. XX chromosomes are female.


What do the genetic codes xx and xy mean?

There are 22 autosomal chromosomes and 2 sex chromosomes in humans. In all the other chromosomes, the homologous pairs match up genetic loci. However, in human sex chromosomes the X and Y chromosome are different (with the X chromosome being much larger and the Y chromosome carrying genes that cause "maleness"). Someone with an X and a Y chromosome is a male because he has a Y chromosome that carries the genes that code for "maleness". Females "lack" this Y chromosome, and thus show characteristic female phenotypes.


How do you enter only diagonal elements in c plus plus?

Matrices have two diagonals: main diagonal and anti-diagonal. The main diagonal runs from top-left to bottom-right. For square matrix A: // main diagonal: for (size_t xy=0; xy<A.size(); ++xy) cin >> A[xy][xy]; // anti-diagonal for (size_t x = A.size()-1, y=0; y<A.size(); --x; ++y cin >> A[x][y];


Where is genetic information in the nucleus stored?

Genetic information is stored in the chromosomes.


What is meant by crosswalk when working with databases?

Also referred to as a schema crosswalk, when someone talks about a crosswalk, what they are generally talking about is a table that allows for references to be built that allow the way data is stored in one database to be matched up with data in another database. For instance, let's say a school district's student database software keeps track of the gender of each student with a single character field that codes females with an "F" and males with an "M". The school district is required to upload data about their students to the state in which it operates for analysis, but the state wants to see males coded as "XY" and females coded as "XX". A crosswalk would need to be created that would convert the gender data in the export process. The crosswalk may look something like this: F -- XX M -- XY

What is the phenotype for XY?

xy chromosomes mostly fall on male gender.


Which pair of chromosomes tells your gender?

Sex chromosomes (XX = female and XY = male)


The 23rd pair of human chromosomes tells the gender with xx being and xy being male which gender is karyotype?

A karyotype is a representation of an individual's set of chromosomes, showing the number, size, and shape of chromosomes. It does not determine gender; rather, it provides information on potential genetic conditions or disorders. Gender is typically determined by the presence of XX chromosomes in females and XY chromosomes in males.

What determines a Mendelian trait?

Chromosomes do not have a sex/gender but determine it. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).


The XX and XY chromosomes which are responsible for the inheritance of gender?

female eggs r all same having 22+x as genetic material..but male sperm is of 2 types 22+x &22+y...if 22+x crosses with egg,it result in44+xx which is a female...but if 22+y crosses with egg,it result in 44+xy i.e.male


What are the sex chromosomes for a male and how do they determine gender?

The sex chromosomes for a male are XY. These chromosomes determine gender because the presence of a Y chromosome typically leads to the development of male characteristics, while the absence of a Y chromosome usually results in the development of female characteristics.


In humans what gender is determined?

In humans, gender is typically determined by the combination of sex chromosomes received from the parents. Males typically have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX).


What chromosomes determine the gender of an organism?

The chromosomes that determine the gender of an organism are called sex chromosomes. In humans, females typically have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of a Y chromosome usually results in the development of male characteristics.
