Why does everybody with klinefelter's syndrome end out to be a male?
All people with Klinefelter's syndrome are male because by definition Klinefelter's syndrome is due to a genotype of XXY. The fetus will develop into a male if there are any Ys present at the sex chromosome.
Which could be the genotype for a male suffering from Klinefelter's syndrome?
The genotype for a person suffering with Klinefelter's syndrome is XXY.
What population groups tend to get Klinefelter syndrome?
Because people with Klinefelter syndrome have a Y chromosome, they are all male.
What occurs when a male inherits a extra x chromosome?
They get Klinefelter syndrome. They have male sex organs, but the testes are abnormally small and the man is sterile. Even though the extra X is inactivated, some breast enlargement and other female body characteristics are common.
When someone is born with klinefelter's syndrome are they basically born with female and male parts?
No. A male with Klinefelter has lower levels of certain hormones than the average male. Some men have both Klinefelter and gynecomastia (enlarged breasts) but you can have either one without the other.
What is the latest treatment for Klinefelter syndrome?
There is the possibility of testosterone injections which can produce more male like traits.
How many chromosomes are in klinefelter's syndrome?
Individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome have an extra X chromosome, resulting in a total of 47 chromosomes, with the usual sex chromosomes XX for females and XY for males being XXY in individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome.
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
Is Klinefelter Syndrome sex-linked or autosomal?
Klinefelter Syndrome is sex-linked, because it is a genetic defect that results in a male having an extra X chromosome.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two X chromosomes is fertilized by a sperm carrying on Y chromosome?
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
What are the effects of Klinefelter's syndrome?
The genotype for Klinefelter's is XXY, so the outward appearance is a male with some feminine features like breast development, less facial hair, small testes, and infertility.
Klinefelter's syndrome and XXY males are conditions that are caused by?
Normal humans have 46 chromosomes (23 from each parent). Males with Klinefelter's Syndrome have 47 chromosomes and therefore have acquired an extra chromosome from a parent (hopefully a more knowledgeable contributor will say if it is from the male or female parent). A lot of studies have been done on the male calico cat. Back in the 1980's if one found a male calico cat that was NOT sterile, the cat was worth about 30K... a lot of money for that time period. I am not sure if similar hunts are currently underway.
