Is it possible to have a XXY chromosome set for sex?
Yes, individuals with an XXY chromosome set have a condition called Klinefelter syndrome. This results in male characteristics with varying degrees of underdevelopment of the testes and reduced fertility. It is a chromosomal variation that occurs during fetal development.
What chromosomes make up the 23rd set of chromosomes in a human male?
Both have an x chromosome. Girls are XX and boys are XYIn Human being Y- chromosome is a determinig factor for maleness.http://wiki.answers.com/Is_a_x_chromosome_a_girl_or_boy_baby#ixzz18JCTmFoU
Is Klinefelter Syndrome a dominant or recessive trait?
Klinefelter syndrome is not a trait; it is the result of nondisjunction during meiosis (the production of sex cells), when either the egg cell ends up having two X chromosomes or the sperm carries both X and Y, giving the fertilized egg XXY.
Can a mother pass on a y chromosome to its child?
No. If it is a mother, that infers that the organism is female. The feature that determines gender is the 23rd set of chromosomes. A female can only result if the pair is XX (XY results in a male). Therefore, a mother cannot pass on a Y chromosome to her child. If you are wondering whether by cause of a genetic mutation the mother happens to have a Y chromosome, then she would not be a mother, as she would be infertile.
How many copies do you have of each chromosome?
There will be two copies of each chromosome in all somatic cells called homologous chromosome..In case of reproductive cells there will be only one set during gamete formation...

Is klinefelter's syndrome an inheritance?
It is a condition in which human males have an extra X chromosome. It is inherited when the extra X chromosome is retained because of a nondisjunction event during meiosis I (gametogenesis).
Do each set of chromosome define a character?
a set chromosome define about progeny which could be male or female

Why is each chromosome a double?
There are 2 of each chromosome because you get 1 set from each parent.

How do you know the set of chromosomes is from a male?
If it has a x and y chromosome it is from a male if it has two x chromosome or is from a female
A somatic cell having two of each type of chromosome has chromosome number?
A somatic cell with two of each type of chromosome has a diploid chromosome number. This means that the cell has a complete set of chromosomes, one from each parent.
How many chromosome are in a diploid (double or 2n) set for humans?
A diploid set for humans consists of 46 chromosomes. This means there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one chromosome from each pair inherited from each parent.
Why is monosomy worse than trisomy?
Monosomy occurs when one chromosome is absent from the normal diploid number. This is referred to as aneuploidy which is the loss or gain of a chromosome during meiosis.An example of monosomy is Turner Syndrome. One of the sex chromosomes is missing. In an unaffected female there are 2 'X' chromosomes. But in Turner Syndrome there is one sex chromosome missing.Trisomy occurs when there is three copies of a chromosome instead of the normal diploid number. This is also referred to as aneuploidy because there was an extra chromosome added hence, an abnormal amount of chromosomes.An example of trisomy is in Trisomy 21(Downs Syndrome) in which chromosome 21 has an extra chromosome.
