XY - XX Proof

Alright, I'll give it a shot.

The Y chromosome contributes very little to a human being, even to the point where it is much smaller than the X chromosome and has many many less number of genes. In fact, most genetic disorders are caused by a defect in the X chromosome, not the Y.

But what the Y chromsome does contribute is the SRY gene, which stimulates testosterone production and the formation of the testes. Basically, if a fetus has a Y chromosome, the SRY gene will stimulate the production of male s exual features and the male reproductive organs. This means that the male fetus produces DIFFERENT hormones and the cell division creates COMPLETELY different reproductive organs and gametes (i.e. female gametes, the eggs, are structurally speaking NOTHING like sperm cells and the two also perform cell division two completely different process--oogenesis and the creation of Barr/polar bodies and eggs is nothing like spermatogeneis where spermatogonia perform either mitosis or meiosis to make more spermatogonia or spermatocytes--spermatocytes are immature gametes that later, in the epididymis mature into sperm cells).


So, SRY basically creates a human being that is VERY different from a female, with many many different hormone systems, VERY different reproductive organs physical features and methods of cell division for the respective gametes. This is why people with XXY are still male-the SRY gene still creates production of enough testosterone and testes to create male g enetalia.


In the absence of a Y chromosome, be it just one X (turner syndrome) or a normal XX, there is no SRY, so different hormones get activates and a female is the result with female characteristics and reproductive organs.

In both cases, the absence or presence of SRY decides what happens to the fetus in terms of development (the s e x hormones testosterone and estrogen also contribute to physical features, such as presence of body hair, height, distribution of body fat, muscle development, etc). I.E.-SRY leads to the creation of a completely different being than a female, different hormones, different gametes, entirely different reproductive system.


So, as you can see, although both males and females, albeit sharing an X (XX vs XY) are ultimately different in the way that s e x steroids, testosterone, estrogen and progesterone, shape their body. Males NEED an X chromosome because the Y chromosome literally has jack -blam!- on it, aside from SRY. The X chromosome codes for the creation of the rest of the body systems, from the circulatory system to the brain to the skin (which is why, as I mentioned before, most genetic diseases are transmitted through the X chromosome, because it does most of the construction of the baby while it's still in the uterus developing).


So, basically, saying that boys are part girls because both have an X chromosome is pretty stupid. That being said, it does mean we are both human, because most of the creation of a human body is attributed to the X chromosome.

Yeah, we don't usually. In the rare case of gynecomastia (the formal medical term for man boobs), either the person afflicted is too overweight (extra fat in males tends to increase estrogen secretion, and one of estrogens main job is to store fat near the nipples, which leads to the creation of breats in males).


Another situation is hormones in teenage male. There's literally a surge of testosterone during puberty, and the body usually responds to this surge of testosterone with estrogen-male still produce estrogen and females still testosterone, but in limited supplies, (some people more than other), which leads to man boobs during puberty. Also, a genetic disorder where the SRY gene wasn't fully functioning properly could lead to increased estrogen production in some males, which would cause man boobs (this is usually treated with hormone therapy if doctors have a confirmed diagnosis that it's a genetic abnormality).

Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

I guess that explains this cavernous, smelly -blam!- I've got.

Weird.

Did. Read. You are the only one who is right, some other guy too, but he didnt take the time to type this much.

Female Sangheili?

Okay.

Can't say I wouldn't bang.
Come hither.


NO NOT THIS AGAIN!!
Pwease?

That would also suggest that all women are part male.

Just because a bird has a spine, and I have a spine, does not mean I am part bird.

To a point yes we all start as female but the difference is if we have the Y chromosome or have another X Chromosome. There's a point where it changes which is what the earlier poster elegantly and with sophistication posted.

Until that point in gestation we all are female. After that point it depends on if we have Y or not.

For a long time we thought that SRY would activate a cascade of male genes. It turns out that the sex determination pathway is probably more complicated and SRY may in fact inhibit some anti-male genes.
The idea is instead of having a simplistic mechanism by which you have pro-male genes going all the way to make a male, in fact there is a solid balance between pro-male genes and anti-male genes and if there is a little too much of anti-male genes, there may be a female born and if there is a little too much of pro-male genes then there will be a male born.
We [are] entering this new era in molecular biology of sex determination where it's a more subtle dosage of genes, some pro-males, some pro-females, some anti-males, some anti-females that all interplay with each other rather than a simple linear pathway of genes going one after the other, which makes it very fascinating but very complicated to study.
