Sex chromosomes

X = Female ChromosomeY = Male Chromosome

All female gametes (e.g. eggs) will contain an ‘X’ chromosome.Half of all male gametes (e.g. sperms) will contain an ‘X’ and half will contain a ‘Y’.

Sex Determination

X = Female ChromosomeY = Male Chromosome

EGG SPERM ZYGOTE

X X XX = Girl

X Y XY = Boy

Page 8: Starter Give three main causes of variation within a population Define the term ‘mutation’

However, occasionally sperms carrying BOTH the ‘X’ and the ‘Y’ chromosomes are produced.

X + XY = XXYXXY is known as Klienfelter Syndrome

EGG SPERM ZYGOTE

X XY XXY

Even sperms carrying no sex chromosome are produced

X + nothing = XJust having an ‘X’ chromosome is known as Turner Syndrome

EGG SPERM ZYGOTE

X none X
