Klinefelter syndrome: males inherit one or more extra X chromosomes--their genotype is XXY or more rarely XXXY or XY/XXY mosaic. In severe cases, they have relatively high-pitched voices, asexual to feminine body contours as well as breast enlargement, and comparatively little facial and body hair. They are sterile or nearly so, and their testes and prostate gland are small.

How many sexes are possible in chromosomes?

There are seven possible genetic sexes: XX = female XY = male X = female with Turner syndrome XXX = female with X-trisomy XXY = intersex with Klinefelter syndrome XYY = male with 47,XYY syndrome XXYY = male with 48,XXYY syndrome


How many sex chromosomes does a male embryo have?

An embryo, male or female, usually has two sex chromosomes, one from mom, one from dad. In a male's case, they would be XY. Rarely, nondisjunction occurs, and a child winds up XXX, XXY, XYY, or X. XXX and X become female, and XXY and XYY become male. So, it is theoretically possible for a male embryo to have three sex chromosomes.


What is the ratio of a baby being male or female?

The ratio of a human baby being a male to being a female is 1:1.That means that the baby has a 50% of being a male, and a 50% of being a female.A male human has the genotype of XY.A female human has the genotype of XX.Some mutated organisms have an XXY or XYY for a genotype.


Does a cat's coloring indicate gender?

Sort of. A Calico cat is almost always (99.9% of the time) going to be female. The reason is that the female has two X genes, one has to carry red and the other black to get the 3 color effect. For a male to be a calico, it has to have XXY and is normally sterile.


What chromosome is klinefelters syndrome located on?

they have a extra chromosome, a normal male is XY, a male with klinefelters is XXY.


Can a xxy male give birth?

An XXY male, often associated with Klinefelter syndrome, typically has male reproductive anatomy, including undescended testicles and lower testosterone levels, which can affect fertility. While they generally do not possess a uterus or ovaries, making natural childbirth impossible, assisted reproductive technologies are not viable for them. Therefore, XXY males cannot give birth.


What would a male with the sex chromosomes xxy have?

A male with the sex chromosomes XXY would have Klinefelter syndrome, a genetic condition that can result in low testosterone, reduced fertility, and other possible physical and developmental traits.


Is a male with XXY chromosome combination a normal male or sterile male?

A male with XXY chromosome combination has a condition called Klinefelter syndrome. This can lead to reduced fertility, but not complete sterility. These individuals can father children with assisted reproductive technologies.


What combinations of sex chromosomes produces a female?

It is the father's contribution that determines the sex of the offspring. Of the XX and XY pairs that determine sex, the mother always contributes an X. If the father contributes an X as well, the offspring is female. If the father contributes a Y, the offspring is male.


Describe how the karyotype of an XXY human would differ from that of an XO human?

The karyotype of an XO human would be deficient one X chromosome, compared to that of a normal female, and it would result in a female. Normal human females only use one X chromosome, whereby one is inactivated, which is why an XO human is viable. An XXY human would have one extra X chromosome as compared to that of a normal male, and it would result in a male. Again, an X chromosome is inactivated, which is why an XXY human is viable. XO is referred to as Turner Syndrome. XXY is referred to as Klinefelter Syndrome.


Can a female reproductive organs be implanted in a male?

Short answer: No Longer answer: Yes but they are not going to work, the male does not have the hormones to trigger their function There are however cases of transgender males with functional female reproductive organs, however these are legitimate xxy chromosome people not xx or xy Then there are the medically created exceptions: A former female surgically transformed into a male who then has reproductive organs could still function But these exceptions are either medical creations or biological anomalies and not the norm.
