These genotypes are determined by a human's 23rd pair of chromosomes. If the subject is female, she has two X's reading XX. If it is male, then his genotype will read XY. There is a 50-50 shot of each. This is because a woman donates one chromosome (she only has two X's so it is inevitable that she will donate an X), and a man donates one of his. If a man donates his 'X' then there will be two X's and the child will be female. If he donates his 'Y' then the child will be male.
Male is XY, female is XX. There are, however, other genotypes (XXY, XXX, XO...) and not all people have a phenotype that goes with their genotype.

What is the male genotype?

Maleness is not a genotype but a combination of sex chromosomes. A normal human male has an X as well as a Y chromosome.

How do females pick the males in sexual selection?

it doesnt matter if you are a female and you want a female mate you can have a girlfriend when your a girl. if you want a male and you are a female then you can choose a male it doesnt matter if you are a female and you want a female mate you can have a girlfriend when your a girl. if you want a male and you are a female then you can choose a male


Is xxy male or female?

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.


Whether a human is male or female is determined by his or her?

Their genotype. The human has 46 chromosomes, or two pairs of 23 chromosomes (haploid) where one pair of these chromosomes contain the genetic information that determines a human's gender. The female possesses a pair of chromosomes labelled as XX. The male possesses a pair of chromosomes labelled as XY. In the case of a male, the Y gene is inherited from the father (X from the mother) and does not contain the usual genotypes that determine an individual's appearance etc. Instead it contains a few genes that activate body functions in the male such as producing hormones in the testes, or enabling the male to possess a deeper voice etc.

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.


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.


What is the genotype of a male grasshopper and a female grasshopper?

A male grasshopper has two different sex chromosomes, XY, while a female grasshopper has two of the same sex chromosomes, XX. This difference in sex chromosome composition determines the sex of the grasshopper.


What is geneotype in a normal male and female?

When do you acquire your unique genotype?

You acquire your unique genotype at conception when you inherit half of your genetic material from each of your parents. Your genotype is determined by the combination of genes you receive from your parents, influencing your physical traits and certain aspects of your health.


Can parent with as and AA genotype give birth to ac genotype?

No, a parent with AS and AA genotype cannot give birth to a child with AC genotype. The parent can only pass on either the A allele or the S allele to their child, resulting in genotypes of either AA or AS.


Which male genotype in the ZW sex chromosome system?

In the ZW sex chromosome system, the male genotype is ZZ. The letter Z represents the presence of a dominant male-determining gene, while the letter W represents the absence of this gene, which determines female development. Therefore, individuals with the ZZ genotype develop as males in this system.


What is the genotype and phenotype ratios for a homozygous dominant female and a homozygous resessive male?

When a homozygous dominant female (genotype AA) is crossed with a homozygous recessive male (genotype aa), all offspring will inherit one dominant allele from the mother and one recessive allele from the father, resulting in a genotype of Aa for all offspring. The phenotype ratio will show all offspring displaying the dominant trait. Thus, the genotype ratio is 100% Aa, and the phenotype ratio is 100% expressing the dominant trait.


A human with the genotype XY is?

a biologically male individual. The XY genotype typically refers to the genetic makeup of males in humans, where X represents one of the sex chromosomes inherited from the mother and Y represents the sex chromosome inherited from the father.


How is the phenotype determined by the genotype?

What is the difference between male and female cells?

In humans and most (if not all) other eukaryote species, males have the karyotype XY in their chromosomes, and females have the genotype XX.


Which genotype results in a female phenotype?

XXY-Klinefelter syndromePeople with Klinefelter syndrome are also tall male phenotype. They are sterile, may show mild mental impairment, and may develop enlarged breast because of the extra X chromosome.
