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.

What chromosome tells us the sex of a human?
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.
Who does a male child inherit his X chromosome from?
yes, some people have xxy chromosomes, a genetic mutation. Although I'm not sure if the extra chromosome is from the fathers sperm or sex cell. Hope this helps :)
Which sex chromosome does a father pass on to a son?
A father passes on his Y chromosome to his son. In humans, males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). Therefore, the son inherits the Y chromosome from his father and an X chromosome from his mother, resulting in a male (XY) offspring.
Why will a male inhert x liked recessive gene from is dad?
A male inherits his X chromosome from his mother and his Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he cannot inherit an X-linked recessive gene directly from his dad, as fathers pass their Y chromosome to their sons. If a male has an X-linked recessive condition, it must come from his mother, who can pass on the affected X chromosome. In summary, males inherit X-linked traits only from their mothers.
Why does a sex-linked trait only require one recessive allele on the X chromosome of a male to show the phenotype?
Because males have only one X chromosome, any recessive allele present on that X chromosome will be expressed in the phenotype. In females, who have two X chromosomes, the presence of a dominant allele on one X chromosome can mask the expression of a recessive allele on the other X chromosome.
What chromosome tells us the sex of a human?
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.
What chromosome is klinefelters syndrome located on?
they have a extra chromosome, a normal male is XY, a male with klinefelters is XXY.
Who does a male child inherit his X chromosome from?
yes, some people have xxy chromosomes, a genetic mutation. Although I'm not sure if the extra chromosome is from the fathers sperm or sex cell. Hope this helps :)
What is Y chromosomes?
A Y Chromosome is a mammalian sex chromosome which occurs only in male cells.
Why x-linked recessive more frequent in male in mammal?
A male inherits only one X sex chromosome, so whatever alleles are on that chromosome will be expressed. A female inherits two X sex chromosomes, so there is a possibility that she will inherit at least one dominant allele for a trait, in which case she will have the dominant trait.
How is super male syndrome passed from parent to offspring?
Super male syndrome, also known as XYY syndrome, occurs when a male has an extra Y chromosome, resulting in a chromosomal pattern of XYY instead of the typical XY. This genetic condition arises during the formation of sperm, where an error in cell division leads to the extra Y chromosome. It can be passed from an affected father to his offspring if he contributes the extra Y chromosome during fertilization, resulting in a son with the XYY genotype. This syndrome is not inherited in a traditional Mendelian manner but rather occurs as a random event during sperm development.
Which sex chromosome does a father pass on to a son?
A father passes on his Y chromosome to his son. In humans, males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). Therefore, the son inherits the Y chromosome from his father and an X chromosome from his mother, resulting in a male (XY) offspring.
Is klinefelter syndrome chomosomal mutation?
Klinefelters syndrome occurs in a male and it is when they carry and extra X chromosome having a total of 47chromosomes rather than the usual 46. Thus resulting in a chromosomal mutation.
Why will a male inhert x liked recessive gene from is dad?
A male inherits his X chromosome from his mother and his Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he cannot inherit an X-linked recessive gene directly from his dad, as fathers pass their Y chromosome to their sons. If a male has an X-linked recessive condition, it must come from his mother, who can pass on the affected X chromosome. In summary, males inherit X-linked traits only from their mothers.

Because males have only one X chromosome, any recessive allele present on that X chromosome will be expressed in the phenotype. In females, who have two X chromosomes, the presence of a dominant allele on one X chromosome can mask the expression of a recessive allele on the other X chromosome.
What do you call a male that inherits something?
A male beneficiary.
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.
