Chromosomal, because the person with Klinefelter's would have 47 chromosomes. A genetic disorder would be any disorder having to do with genes, but would not necessarily mean having an extra chromosome.

Klinefelter syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males due to a random error in cell division, known as nondisjunction. This results in a chromosomal mutation where males have an additional X chromosome, leading to physical and developmental differences.

Klinefelter's syndrome affects approximately 1 in 500-1000 males. It is caused by an extra X chromosome, resulting in symptoms such as small testes, infertility, and reduced testosterone levels. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life.

A male with Klinefelter's Syndrome (XXY genotype) would have two Barr bodies in each cheek cell, as they have an extra X chromosome. This extra X chromosome forms Barr bodies inactivated during embryonic development, leading to the presence of two Barr bodies in cells with two X chromosomes.

The recommended dosage is 100mg/ml. This dosage can fluctuate depending on the males deficiency or absence of testosterone level.

Individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome have an extra X chromosome, resulting in a total of 47 chromosomes, with the usual sex chromosomes XX for females and XY for males being XXY in individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome.

Sperm production involves meiosis, which consists of two divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I reduces the chromosome number, while meiosis II separates sister chromatids, resulting in haploid sperm cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Mitochondria, which are present in the sperm's midpiece, are responsible for energy production through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. This energy is necessary for the sperm to swim and reach the egg for fertilization.

Viagra inhibits the enzyme that inhibits the production of cGMP. The purpose of cGMP is to activate Protein Kinase G which triggers muscle relaxation through the activation of phosphatase (an enzyme which removes a phosphate from smooth muscle myosin thus inhibiting cross bridges from being formed) and thus contraction is not permitted to happen. Basically through the use of Viagra cGMP can be active and this triggers a chain of events that allows the veins in the penis to dilate and thus an erection can occur.

No, molecules come in various sizes. The size of a molecule is determined by the number and arrangement of its atoms. Small molecules like oxygen and water are much simpler and smaller than complex molecules like proteins and DNA.

With Turner's Syndrome, the females actually have 1 less chromosome, not an extra one or sometimes only part of the X chromosome is missing. Klinefelter's syndrome, 47, XXY, or XXY syndrome is a condition in which human males have an extra X chromosome. While females have an XX chromosomal makeup, and males an XY, affected individuals have at least two X chromosomes and at least one Y chromosome.

The destruction of sperm is called sperm cell death or sperm cell apoptosis.

Sperm is produced in the testes, specifically within the seminiferous tubules. These tubules are coiled structures within the testes where sperm cells undergo a process called spermatogenesis, ultimately leading to the production of mature sperm cells.

The female prostate, also known as the Skene's glands, are located around the urethra near the walls of the vagina. They can be found by gently inserting a finger into the vagina and pressing against the front wall. Stimulation of the Skene's glands can contribute to sexual pleasure for some individuals.

A rainbow is composed of sunlight hitting small particles of water in the air (often associated with rain, waterfalls, etc.) and being refracted and thus separated into its different wavelengths.

Yes, there are different types of nipples in men, just like there are in women. Some men may have protruding nipples while others may have inverted nipples. Nipple size, shape, and color can also vary among individuals.

# I think that is an 'urban legend'. In a study from 1959, 'Effect of prolonged cold exposure on the gross blood composition of the rat' no change in hematoocrit levels were seen.

Sweat is secreted to cool the body by transpiration (water changing to a vapor). The salt is what draws the water out of the body. The salt is actively transported and the water accompanies the salt via osmosis. The only way to prevent a loss of salt is by avoiding the need for perspiration.

Normal humans have 46 chromosomes (23 from each parent). Males with Klinefelter's Syndrome have 47 chromosomes and therefore have acquired an extra chromosome from a parent (hopefully a more knowledgeable contributor will say if it is from the male or female parent). A lot of studies have been done on the male calico cat. Back in the 1980's if one found a male calico cat that was NOT sterile, the cat was worth about 30K... a lot of money for that time period. I am not sure if similar hunts are currently underway.

In a male, urine and seminal fluid; in a female, only urine.

No. The main effects of klinefelter syndrome are development of small testicles, small penises, lower testosterone levels and reduced fertility

While that is true, there have been extreme advance in the use of fertility methods and while it isn't going to be 100% effective there is a higher chance than 0%.

Additionally, penis size is irrelevant when talking about fertility. Most Klinefelter's patients have normal sizes. The problem is called hypogonadism; reduced use of the testicles. The above poster is correct that with genetic counseling, there are relatively good chances of finding viable spermatozoa. I believe that early diagnosis is essential to finding and freezing the spermatozoa, which increases chances by a good amount. Source - I have it.

Normally, urine is sterile. It is usually free of bacteria, viruses, and fungi but does contain fluids, salts, and waste products. Presence of 10000 or more bacteria in each milliliter of midstream urine sample are considered as positive urine culture. In more than 95% of cases, only one pathogen isolates from the culture. But in some cases, poly-microbial growth can occur. if more than one organism isolated from urine culture, it can be defined as mixed flora.

X-inactivation typically occurs in individuals with Klinefelter syndrome, which is characterized by having an extra X chromosome (XXY). However, the extra X chromosome in Klinefelter syndrome may not undergo inactivation completely, leading to some cells expressing genes from the additional X chromosome. This can result in a variety of symptoms and characteristics associated with Klinefelter syndrome.

Sperm cells undergo a process called spermatogenesis, where they divide and differentiate into four mature sperm cells through meiosis. This process occurs in the testes and produces haploid sperm cells that each contain half of the genetic material found in a typical cell.
