KEY CONCEPTS • Chromosomal Sex • The Basics: 46 Chromosomes, Two Sex Chromosomes, X’s And Y’s • Andosperm and Gynosperm • The Problematic X Chromosome and Sex-Linked Traits • Chromosomal Anomalies • Errors in cell division lead to extra or missing chromosomes • Turner’s Syndrome (X Ø) • Trisomy X Syndrome (XXX) • Klinefelter’s Syndrome (XXY or even XXXY) • Supernumerary Y Syndrome (XYY)
Ovum Sperm Each contributes 23 chromosomes for a total of 46 Always an X An X or a Y
X Chromosome Y Chromosome
XX - Female XY - Male
Ovum Sperm Y-Andosperm X-Gynosperm Each contributes 23 chromosomes for a total of 46 Always an X An X or a Y
XX - Female XY - Male THE PROBLEMATIC X CHROMOSOME Pathological Sex-Linked Traits Hemophilia • Color Blindness • Muscular Dystrophy
KEY CONCEPTS • Chromosomal Sex • The Basics: 46 Chromosomes, Two Sex Chromosomes, X’s And Y’s • Andosperm and Gynosperm • The Problematic X Chromosome and Sex-Linked Traits • Chromosomal Abnormalities • Errors in cell division lead to extra or missing chromosomes • Turner’s Syndrome (X Ø) • Trisomy X Syndrome (XXX) • Klinefelter’s Syndrome (XXY or even XXXY) • Supernumerary Y Syndrome (XYY)
XX - Female XY - Male
Turner’s Syndrome Trisomy X Syndrome In the absence of a “Y” chromosome, these are females.
Klinefelter’s Syndrome Supernumerary Y Syndrome In the presence of a “Y” chromosome, these are males. They are “Pseudo-hermaphrodites”
