The X and Y sex chromosomes. If the embryo inherits an X and Y chromosome, it will be male. If the embryo inherits two X chromosomes, it will be female.

Why is karyotype called 45xo?

This particular karyotype has 45 chromosomes (instead of the usual 46). "XO" tells us that the karyotype is missing a sex chromosome: the individual has an X, but no homologous sex chromosome (X or Y) to complete the diploid pair.


What kind of information in shown on chromosome maps?

Chromosome maps display the relative positions of genes, genetic markers, and other DNA sequences along a chromosome. This information can help researchers understand the genetic basis of diseases, evolutionary relationships, and genetic variations within a population.


What does the density of an object tell us?

density tells us how packed the object is


Human genome contains how many?

The Human Genome Project sequenced all the chromosomes of a human. This tells us the actual genetic code of adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine that codes for genes in humans. With it, scientists can study genes that control the way we develop or cause disease.


How do you show a punnett square of a woman who is color blind and a man who has normal vision?

Colorblindness is a sex-linked trait carried on the X chromosome. Males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY) and females have two X chromosomes (XX). Normal vision is dominant over colorblindness. This means that the man must have an allele for normal vision on his only X chromosome. This also means that the woman must have two colorblind alleles on both of her X chromosomes. If we use a capital 'B' to represent normal vision and a lowercase 'b' to represent colorblindness, the genotype of the male would be XBY, and the genotype of the female would be XbXb. Now that we know the genotypes, setting up the Punnett square should be easy. Here is a direct image link to the Punnett square: http://i.imgur.com/gDfUv.png This Punnett square tells us that there is a 50% chance of having a female that has normal vision and a 50% chance of having a colorblind male.

Why is sex so popular?

Psychologists tell us that the three most basic human drives are Sex, Fear and Hunger. Fear protects us, Hunger fuels us, and Sex is absolutely necessary for human reproduction, of course, so we humans are programmed -- especially us males -- to seek it out at every opportunity.

How social science is relevant to present time?

At its best, social sciences tell us who we are. Anthropology tells us who we were. Economics expalins to us our relationship with money and other resources. Psychology tells us how we think, and sociology tells us how we organize our societies. Social science is always relevant because we are always human and always organizing ourselves into societies.


How is the sex of the offspring determined in humans?

humans sex gametes each have the haploid number of chromosomes(23) compared to a normal cell. when the sperm feritilises the egg, the number is doubled to form the full cell. the 23rd pair of the chromosome is the one that determines th sex of the foetus. if it is a "XX" chromosome, it will be a girl and if its a "XY" chromosome, it will be a boy.

What is the thing that happens in your inside when a boy kisses you in your hand?

That feeling is an impulse that makes us do crazy things. It tells you to want more. That is how nature insures that the human race will continue. The need for that feeling leads to sex. Sex leads to pregnancy. This leads to other little humans that will someday do the same thing. Welcome to adulthood. Be careful how you behave from now on.
