  2. XY sex-determination system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_sex-determination_system

    In the XY sex-determination system, the female-provided ovum contributes an X chromosome and the male-provided sperm contributes either an X chromosome or a Y chromosome, resulting in female (XX) or male (XY) offspring, respectively. Hormone levels in the male parent affect the sex ratio of sperm in humans. [25]

  3. Sexual differentiation in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_differentiation_in...

    The development of sexual differences begins with the XY sex-determination system that is present in humans, and complex mechanisms are responsible for the development of the phenotypic differences between male and female humans from an undifferentiated zygote. [3] Females typically have two X chromosomes, and males typically have a Y ...

  4. Sex-determination system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-determination_system

    The human Y-chromosome has had about 5 strata since the origin of the X and Y chromosomes about 300 Mya from a pair of autosomes. Each stratum was formed when a pseudoautosomal region (PAR) of the Y chromosome is inverted, stopping it from recombination with the X chromosome. Over time, each inverted region decays, possibly due to Muller's ratchet.

    The equipment for the techniques also varies from the bulky to the small and convenient. A-B techniques generally use two separate microphone units, often mounted on a bar to define the separation. X-Y microphone capsules can be mounted in one unit, or even on the top of a handheld digital recorder.

  7. Rotation of axes in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_of_axes_in_two...

    In mathematics, a rotation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an xy-Cartesian coordinate system to an x′y′-Cartesian coordinate system in which the origin is kept fixed and the x′ and y′ axes are obtained by rotating the x and y axes counterclockwise through an angle .

  8. XY gonadal dysgenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_gonadal_dysgenesis

    XY complete gonadal dysgenesis, also known as Swyer syndrome, is a type of defect hypogonadism in a person whose karyotype is 46,XY. Though they typically have normal vulvas , [ 1 ] the person has underdeveloped gonads, fibrous tissue termed " streak gonads ", and if left untreated, will not experience puberty .

  9. Y chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_chromosome

    The Y chromosome is one of two sex chromosomes in therian mammals and other organisms.Along with the X chromosome, it is part of the XY sex-determination system, in which the Y is the sex-determining chromosome because the presence of the Y chromosome causes offspring produced in sexual reproduction to be of male sex.
