Assuming no other abnormalities, classify each of the following human sex chromosome complements as to whether or not individuals with that complement will be morphologically male or female. Three human sex chromosome complements will be classified as male and three will be classified as female.
XXY
XYY
XXX
XO
XY
XX
The Xg cell-surface antigen is coded for by a gene located on the X chromosome. No equivalent gene exists on the Y chromosome. Two codominant alleles of this gene have been identified: Xg1 and Xg2. A woman of genotype Xg2/Xg2 bears children with a man of genotype Xg1/Y, and they produce a son with Klinefelter syndrome of genotype Xg1/Xg2Y. Using proper genetic terminology, briefly explain how this individual was generated. In which parent and in which meiotic division did the mistake occur?
A color-blind, chromatin-positive male child (one Barr body) has a maternal grandfather who was color blind. The boy’s mother and father are phenotypically normal. Construct and support (using appropriately labeled diagrams) a rationale whereby the chromosomal and genetic attributes of the chromatin-positive male are fully explained.
