Describe the XX-XO system of sex determination. In this system, which is the heterogametic sex and which is the homogametic sex?
Gender is someone’s conscious and unconscious feelings ofbelonging to one sex or another. Each year, about 1 in 4500children are born with a disorder involving sexual development,where the chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex isatypical. Here we will consider two similar cases with different outcomes.In case 1, a 2-year-old child displayed a mosaic chromosomecomposition of 45,X/46,XY, with one ovary, one testis, a uterus, andambiguous genitalia. In case 2, a fetus was diagnosed with a mosaicchromosome composition of 46,XX/47,XXY, and after birth, also displayedone testis, one ovary, a uterus, and ambiguous genitalia. Thechild in case 1 was adopted from an orphanage and raised as a girl.After consultation with the medical team, the parents decided tocontinue raising the child as a girl and requested surgery that wouldassign the child female sex characteristics. In case 2, the parentsdecided to forego treatment and let the child make the choice aboutgender later in life and to remain…
