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?
This person has Turner's Syndrome and lacks either one X or one Y chromosome. They have X0 (X+zero). All are girls and almost all are rather short and infertile with undeveloped ovaries. Some other organs like the heart can be affected.
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?
Its not a guarantee, but generally it holds true. There are some instances when the part of the y chromosome which determines sex is tacked onto an X chromosome. This can result in XX males. In general though the Y chromosome is responsible for making a biological male.
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?
In humans, the sex of an individual is determined by what combination of sex chromsomes he or she possesses. The sex chromsomes are called 'X' and 'Y' (because of their shape). Females possess two copies of the X chromosome, while males have one X and one Y. In more technical language, in humans the female is the homogametic sex and the male is the heterogameticsex. These terms give a clue to the answer to your question. Females can only produce one type of egg, those with an X chromosome, since they only have one type of sex chromosome (the X) to work with. Males, on the other hand, can produce two kinds of sperm: those carrying an X chromosome, and those carrying a Y. Since every human--male or female--carries at least one X chromosome, and the female can only produce gametes with X chromosomes, the male determines the sex of the child, because if he contributes another X chromosome, the child will be female, and if he contributres a Y, the child will be male. Note: in some other organisms, such as birds, the situation is reversed: the female is the heterogametic sex, and the male the homogametic sex. So in birds, the female determines the sex of the offspring.
Why does a female with a gene for a sex-linked disorder usually appear normal?
A female with a gene for a genetic disorder will usually only have it on one of her two X chromosomes. The other chromosome will carry the healthy version of the gene, which will carry out that gene's function when the other chromosome cannot. Males will exhibit the disease if they have the gene as a male human only has one X chromosome. So, in order for a female to have a genetic disorder carried on her sex chromosome her mother would have to have the defective gene and her father would have the disorder.
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.
