a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What could be the phenotypic sex of a person who has XY with the SRY gene deleted.

Introduction:

The male sex-determining gene in humans is termed as the sex determining region Y (SRY) gene. Generally this gene is found in XY males and is missing in XX females. It is also found on the Y chromosome of other mammals. SRY - the sex determining region of the Y chromosomes is a gene that determines the sex in XYmale.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What could be the phenotypic sex of a person who has XX with a copy of the SRY gene on an autosomal chromosome.

Introduction:

The male sex-determining gene in humans is termed as the sex determining region Y (SRY) gene. Generally this gene is found in XY males and is missing in XX females. It is also found on the Y chromosome of other mammals. SRY - the sex determining region of the Y chromosomes is a gene that determines the sex in XYmale.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What could be the phenotypic sex of a person who has XO with a copy of the SRY gene on an autosomal chromosome.

Introduction:

The male-determining gene in humans is termed as the sex determining region Y (SRY) gene. Generally this gene is found in XY males and is missing in XX females. It is also found on the Y chromosome of other mammals. SRY - the sex determining region of the Y chromosomes is a gene that determines the sex in XYmale.

It is also found on the Y chromosome of other mammals. SRY - the sex determining region of the Y chromosomes is a gene that determines the sex in XYmale.

e.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What could be the phenotypic sex of a person who has XXYY with one copy of the SRY gene deleted.

Introduction:

The male-determining gene in humans is termed as the sex determining region Y (SRY) gene. Generally this gene is found in XY males and is missing in XX females. It is also found on the Y chromosome of other mammals. SRY - the sex determining region of the Y chromosomes is a gene that determines the sex in XYmale.
