Trisomy X aka "Triple X syndrome" is a disorder that affects females and is characterized by the presence of an additional X chromosome. Normally, females have two X chromosomes; however, females with trisomy X carry three X chromosomes in the nuclei of body cells. To be male requires a Y chomosome - which those with Trisomy X obviously lack.
Trisomy refers to having an extra chromosome - 3 (tri-) instead of 2.
Other types of gender related trisomy include:
XXY Trisomy (Klinefelter syndrome) where males have an extra X chromosome
XYY Trisomy (or simply XYY karotype) is where males have an extra Y chromosome.
What else can I help you with?
Is kleinfelters syndrome recessive?
Kleinfelters is a chromosomal "trisomy" of the sex chromosomes. It is not inherited in a recessive or dominant manner.
What can an extra chromosome do?
Having an extra chromosome, known as trisomy, can lead to genetic disorders such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) or Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18). These disorders can affect physical and intellectual development, leading to characteristic features and health challenges. The specific impact of an extra chromosome varies depending on which chromosome is affected.
What does it mean for a disorder to be sex-linked?
Sex-linked means it is transmetted to children by only one parent -- usually carried by the female but exhibited by the male children. Male pattern baldness is such a sex-linked trait. This answer is not complete, but to go further would require I explain chromosomes
How could a zygote be produced with an XYY karyotype?
An XYY zygote can be formed if a pair of sex chromosomes fails to separate during meiosis, so the gamete formed has both the X and Y chromosomes. This gamete would then meet the other gamete from the other cell that would contain a Y sex chromosome. The resulting zygote that is formed would have XYY sex chromosomes. This abnormalty where there is an extra chromosome or is missing a chromosome is called nondisjunction.
What is the sex of the person whose chromosomes are shown in Figure 8-3 above?
It is male because there is an X and a Y chromosome in the table.
Is trisomy 18 sex-linked?
yes
Is klinefelter's syndrome monosomy or trisomy?
A trisomy. A monosomy is when there is only one of a chromosome. A trisomy is when there are three of a chromosome. In Klinefelter's syndrome, there are three sex chromosomes.
Can a male with 48 chromosomes survive?
A human male normally has 46 chromosomes. Some configurations of 48 chromosomes would result in a viable male offspring. This individual would have a trisomy of the sex chromosomes such as XYY and also a trisomy of chromosome 21 and have Down Syndrome.
Which of the following are example(s) of trisomy---Turner Syndrome Down's Syndrome or Klinefelter's Syndrome?
Trisomy means having three copies of a chromosomes. Turner's syndrome is NOT an example of trisomy. Someone with Turner's syndrome has only one X chromosome. Down's syndrome IS an example of trisomy. Someone with Down's syndrome has 3 copies of chromosome 21. Klinefelter's syndrome is a tricky one. On one hand, it would be considered trisomy because they have 3 sex chromosomes. However, they are not all the SAME sex chromosomes. Someone with Klinefelter's has 2 X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.
I what conditions is caused by a sex-linked gene klinefelters syndrome down syndrome muscular dystrophy?
Klinefelters is sex chromosome trisomy. Down Syndrome is trisomy. One of the most common forms of MD is sex-linked and affects boys more frequently than it does girls.
Is Edwards syndrome autosomal or sex-linked?
Down Syndrome is a trisomy of the 21st chromosome as opposed to an allelic inheritance through the X chromosome. Trisomy is a somatic disorder caused by improper division during gametogenesis (usually of the ovum) that results in 3 copies of the 21st chromosome in the egg once it is fertilized.
Is kleinfelters syndrome recessive?
Kleinfelters is a chromosomal "trisomy" of the sex chromosomes. It is not inherited in a recessive or dominant manner.
What sex would a Pearson with trisomy x be why?
A person with trisomy X, which is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in females (resulting in a total of three X chromosomes, 47,XXX), would be biologically female. This genetic condition does not typically affect the individual's ability to develop female physical characteristics or reproductive organs. However, some may experience mild developmental or health issues. Overall, they are classified as female due to their chromosomal makeup.
Classify the human sex genotype XXX as an example of trisomy or monosomy?
It is trisomy of sex chromosomes. Normally, a human girl would be XX genotypically, but she inherits an extra X from either her mother or her father (due to nondisjunction in either one parent's gametes in meosis) so she has one extra chromosome, or a triploidy A normal human is diploid, so they would have XX A triploid is one extra X So it is XXX
Is it illegal to explain sex over the internet?
i think it depends on WHERE you explain it and WHO you explain it to.
What would you do if your person asked you for sex?
Go for it as long as there were no diseases.
What would you do if you have invited to have a sex?
i will see whether the person is free from AIDS and other venereal disease's and then have sex with her.
