Each parent contributes 23 to each offspring. 23+23=46.
Normal male humans have the sex chromosomes XY. The presence of the Y chromosome determines sex in humans - so a person with XXY will be male.
Sex cells must have half the chromosome number of normal body cells because during fertilization, when sperm and egg cells join, the resulting zygote will have the correct chromosome number. This ensures genetic diversity in offspring and helps maintain the stability of the species' chromosome number.
Triploid chromosome (69 total chromosomes instead of 46) is not viable in humans and typically results in miscarriage. It is considered a lethal condition due to the abnormal number of chromosomes, which disrupts normal genetic function and development.
It has the same number of chromosomes as an adult, that is 23 pairs.
A trisomy is when a person has 3 versions of a chromosome. 'Normal' humans will only have 2 of each chromosome. For example, having 3 versions of chromosome 21 is known as Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome.

No. People with Klinefelter's syndrome have a normal Y chromosome and 2 normal X chromosomes.

The father must have contributed an X chromosome if a normal female is produced.

Simple, Meiosis reduce the chromosome number in half while fertilization doubles the chromosome number. n=chromosome number Meiosis = 2n (primordial germ cells) ----> n (sperm cell/egg cell/polar bodies) Fertilization = sperm (n) + egg (n) ----> 2n (zygote)
In humans, normal females have XX chromosomes, and males have XY. It is the presence of a Y chromosome that makes an individual a male, not the ratio of X to Y or the presence of only one X. Therefore someone with XXY would be male.
they have a extra chromosome, a normal male is XY, a male with klinefelters is XXY.
The union of an egg and sperm restores the chromosome number through the process of fertilization. During fertilization, the haploid egg and haploid sperm fuse to form a diploid zygote, which contains the full complement of chromosomes (46 in humans). This restores the normal chromosome number in the resulting offspring.
