No. Do to the fact that when parents pass on the genes the father only ever gives the Y. What happens in XXY is that for some reason the mother gives both X's or potentially their is a defect with the replication of the cell during development. So while their is a small chance it is not very likely. Also you have to realize the a male with XXY is most likely going to be sterile, however this is not always the case.
Chromosomes are in the sperm, one sperm is either a female or male, its also in your dna once you've been "made"
The minor child's mother can file a claim against the father's estate. The minor child is also entitled to inherit a portion of the estate. The mother should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and explain her rights and options. The child can also collect survivor benefits from Social Security. See related link.
Every child receives a unique set of chromosomes because during sexual reproduction, one set of chromosomes from each parent combines to form a new individual. This genetic recombination results in each child having a unique combination of genetic information, leading to the diversity seen within a population.
In the event the step father is deceased, yes. But, you will need a copy of the death certificate showing that he is in fact deceased. Also you will need to know if he had a will that willed the property to someone else.
The parents of a child who has Down syndrome each have the normal amount of chromosomes. The parents have 46, the child has 47.
A male parent is considered to be the father of the child in most cases. A male parent can also be a step-father or even the grandfather of the child.
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
After a father's death, a biological child typically has the right to inherit from the father's estate, either under intestacy laws if there is no will or as a named beneficiary in a will. The specific entitlement can vary based on the laws of the state or country where the father resided, as well as any provisions made in the will. Additionally, biological children may also have rights to any trusts or benefits set up by the father. It's important to consult legal counsel for precise guidance in individual cases.
One way to differentiate between chromosomes from the mother and the father is through a process called DNA fingerprinting, which can identify specific genetic markers inherited from each parent. Additionally, the X and Y chromosomes can also allow for differentiation between the mother and father, as females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome.
the diploid number of chromosomes is the number of chromosomes that organism is haploid for times 2. It looks like this: 2n. Humans have 23 chromosomes each. So the mother has 23 chromosomes (this # is the haploid # of chromosomes for humans), plus the father who also has 23 chromosomes, is the diploid number of chromosomes, 46.
He named his child James Sirius after his father and godfather who was also his father's best friend.
It is exactly like the mothers (except for some possible random mutations). The mother's egg has all of the cytoplasmic components inside it. The sperm only carries DNA. So mitochondria are maternally inherited. While the sperm does contain mitochondria in its tail, only the DNA from the head are transported into the ovum. The DNA of the child consists of half the genetics of the mother and half the genetics of the father. This is because the sperm carries 22 chromosomes and an extra sex chromosome (X or Y). The egg inside the mother also carries 22 chromosomes and a sex chromosome (X or X). When these meet we get 22 sets of chromosomes and a set of sex chromosome (X,Y or X,X) which determines the gender of the child. However, if the mother or the father is carrying an extra 21st chromosome and for example, the child receives 2 21st chromosomes from the father and 1 from the mother, they now have 3 21st chromosomes which can lead to the child being born with downs syndrome.
