What does a female have if she only has one chromosome?
Turner Syndrome
A female with only one x chromosome has?
Turner Syndrome
What is it called if you only have 1 sex chromosome?
Having only one sex chromosome is known as monosomy, specifically Turner syndrome in females who have only one X chromosome. This condition can lead to various physical and developmental abnormalities.
How can you identify the difference of a female chromosome and a male chromosome?
What differentiates a male from a female based off the chromosomes that are present is that a male organism will have X and Y chromosomes whereas a female organism will have X and X chromosomes.
What is cell with one of each kind of chromosome?
If you mean haploid, as in half of each chromosome, or containing only one chromatid from each full chromosome, thenthe cell is called haploid.
Why does having only a single X chromosome make a person of necessity female?
Individuals with only one X chromosome (Turner syndrome) typically develop female characteristics because the presence of the X chromosome is required for the development of many female traits. A single X chromosome carries genes that play a key role in the development of female reproductive structures and secondary sexual characteristics, leading to a predominantly female phenotype.
Do men carry only XX chromosomes?
Men typically have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. Women typically have two X chromosomes. So-called XX males have two X chromosomes; thus they are genetically female but otherwise appear to be male.
Why genes in the X chromosome of males are always expressed?
Genes in the X chromosome of males are always expressed because males have only one X chromosome, so there is no second copy to mask the expression of genes. This is different from females, who have two X chromosomes and undergo a process called X inactivation to balance gene expression between the X chromosomes.
what cell contain only one sex chromosome?
In males, sperm contain only one sex chromosome. In females, eggs contain only one sex chromosome.
Why is it believed that the father determines the sex of his children?
The sex of a child is determined by the male's sperm carrying either an X or Y chromosome, which combines with the female's X chromosome. This belief stems from the understanding of biological processes of fertilization, where the sperm carrying a Y chromosome will result in a male child, while the sperm carrying an X chromosome will result in a female child.
Why does a female with a gene for a sex-linked disorder usually appear normal?
Females have two X chromosomes, so if one carries a gene for a sex-linked disorder, the other X chromosome can often compensate for it. This means that females are less likely to express the disorder compared to males who have only one X chromosome.
What sex chromosomes belong to a normal human male?
The human male has both an X and Y chromosome which determines the sex of an offspring. Female only have the X chromosome.
