Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which women with an extra X chromosome are healthy and indistinguishable in appearance from normal XX women.

Introduction: The chromosomes that are responsible in sex determination and other secondary sexual characters are known as allosomes or sex chromosomes. In humans, 23rd pair is the allosomes. Males have an X and Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.

Summary Introduction

To determine: A suitable test to explain the way in which women with an extra X chromosome are healthy and indistinguishable in appearance from normal XX women.

Introduction: Autosomes are normal somatic chromosomes present in cells. The diploid human genome has 22 pairs of autosomes. Allosomes are sex chromosomes that are responsible for sex determination and secondary sexual characters.

Butterflies have an X-Y sex-determination system that is different from that of flies or humans. Female butterflies may be either XY or X0, while butterflies with two or more X chromosomes are males. This photograph shows a tiger swallowtail gynandromorph, which is half male (left side) and half female (right side). Given that the first division of the zygote divides the embryo into the future right and left halves of the butterfly, propose a hypothesis that explains how nondisjunction during the first mitosis might have produced this unusual-looking butterfly.   Question is also in the picture.
Chromosomal nondisjunction of the X chromosome in female gametes of humans means that live offspring can include ________. A) females with XX or XXX, and males with XY or XXY B) females with XX, and males with XY C) females with XX, and males with XY or XO D) females with XX or XXX, and males with XY or XO E) females with XX or XO, and males with XY or OY
Why does a single X chromosome cause infertility and other abnormalities in Turner Syndrome subjects?
