Your crazy uncle is waging a culture war at the holidays again! This time he's talking about how sex chromosomes, and he asserts that women always possess two X chromosomes and men always posses an X chromosome and a Y chromosome. "It's just a law of nature across all animals" he shouts! Holidays are fun. Fortunately, you were just learning about sexual development in your human physiology course, and so you know there are many things that are incorrect about that statement. What is something you would tell your uncle that WOULD NOT be correct: (see image)

Mutations can occur in the
genes in the SRY region
that alter sexual
development
There are really diverse
mechanisms of sexual
development in animals;
it's not always X & Y
chromosomes
There are other genes in
the genome that can alter
sexual development that
do not reside on the X or
Y chromosomes
The primary genes that
regulate sexual
development are never
even on the sex
chromosomes
