In the absence of a Y chromosome, the fetus will undergo female development. This is because of the presence of the sex-determining region of the Y chromosome, also known as the SRY gene. [5] Thus, male mammals typically have an X and a Y chromosome (XY), while female mammals typically have two X chromosomes (XX).
Individuals with 46,XX/69,XXY karyotype typically develop as phenotypically male, but may also exhibit disorders of sexual development. Almost all diploid-triploid individuals who are phenotypically female have the karyotype 46,XX/69,XXX, but a case has been reported where a 46,XX/69,XXY individual developed as phenotypically female.

Schizophrenic women are more likely to have trisomy X than the general female population. [24] The prevalence of trisomy X in women with adult-onset schizophrenia is estimated to be around 1 in 400, compared to 1 in 1,000 in women as a whole; the prevalence in childhood onset schizophrenia is unclear, but may be as high as 1 in 40.

Sex differences in human physiology are distinctions of physiological characteristics associated with either male or female humans. These differences are caused by the effects of the different sex chromosome complement in males and females, and differential exposure to gonadal sex hormones during development.
Women and men have been surveyed by Gallup each year concerning workplace topics. When questioned about preferences of a female boss or a male boss, women chose a preference for a male boss 39% of the time, compared to 26% of men displaying preference for a male boss. Only 27% of women would prefer a boss of the same gender. [50]
Trump’s action is part of the GOP’s yearslong efforts to stoke fears about transgender people and push them out of public spaces. ... a stage when all embryos are phenotypically female. In ...
The most common presentation of 45,X/46,XY karyotype is phenotypically normal male, next being genital ambiguity. [ 8 ] There is a range of chromosomal anomalies within 45,X/46,XY where the variations are very complex, and the actual result in living individuals is often not a simple picture. [ 1 ]
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]
