However, during development one of the x chromosomes is deactivated and is called a barr body.human females have xx sex chromosomes A male has xy chromosomes What is the genotype of a male and female These genotypes are determined by a human's 23rd pair of chromosomes If the subject is female, she has two x's reading xx. Is xx female or male
A male has xy chromosomes. The (xx) chromosome pair is for a female and the (xy) chromosome pair is for a male You get a (x) chromosome from your mother because she has two (x)'s Her 23rd chromosome is (xx). All babies do not start off as a girl in the mother's womb Women only produce x chromosomes
Xx = female and xy = male When a woman's egg (x) is. Male embryos have xy chromosomes, while female embryos have xx chromosomes This genetic difference determines the development of male or female reproductive organs. The sex chromosomes are the x chromosome and the y chromosome If you have two xx, you will show female characteristics and if you have xy you will show male characteristics.
You would need an xx pair to get the 23 matched pairs of chromosomes Remember, one of those x chromosomes is inactivated in a barr body. If the subject is female, she has two x's reading xx If it is male, then his genotype will read xy
