Extractions: Index to this page The X Chromosome ... X-Chromosome Abnormalities Sex Chromosomes The nuclei of human cells contain 22 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. In females, the sex chromosomes are the 2 X chromosomes . Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome . The presence of the Y chromosome is decisive for unleashing the developmental program that leads to a baby boy. In making sperm by meiosis , the X and Y chromosomes must separate in anaphase just as homologous autosomes do. This occurs without a problem because, like homologous autosomes, the X and Y chromosome synapse during prophase of meiosis I. There is a small region of homology shared by the X and Y chromosome and synapsis occurs at that region. This image, courtesy of C. Tease, shows synapsis of the X and Y chromosomes of a mouse during prophase of meiosis I. Crossing over occurs in two regions of pairing, called the pseudoautosomal regions . These are located at opposite ends of the chromosome. The pseudoautosomal regions get their name because any genes located within them (so far only 9 have been found) are inherited just like any autosomal genes. Males have two copies of these genes: one in the pseudoautosomal region of their Y, the other in the corresponding portion of their X chromosome. So males can inherit an allele originally present on the X chromosome of their father and females can inherit an allele originally present on the Y chromosome of their father.

Whitehead Press Releases 1997 - Y Chromosome from their mother and aY chromosome from their father develop into males. Thisdisorder is called turner syndrome and is characterized by short stature http://www.wi.mit.edu/nap/1997/nap_press_97_dpychrom.html
Extractions: For decades scientists thought that the human Y chromosome, the male sex chromosome, was nothing more than a smaller, less stable version of its partner, the X (the sex chromosome present in both females and males). However, new research led by Dr. David Page, member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, and associate investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, reverses this unflattering picture of the Y and reveals it as a crucial player in the evolution of sex chromosomes and also as a safe haven for male fertility genes. These results are not only generating a new respect for the Y chromosome but also could lead to novel diagnostic techniques for thousands of infertile men. The results also have profound implications for understanding the genetic differences between men and women and the genetic underpinnings of chromosomal disorders such as Turner syndrome.
Chemistry Of The Cell And Genetics but this is only the tip of the iceberg, 99% of turner syndrome embryos are Kleinfelter ssyndrome, 47, XXY The incidence at birth is about 1 in 1000 males. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucbhjow/bmsi/bmsi_7.html
Extractions: We already had a look at chromosomes in lecture 1 and the following terms should be familiar: Human cells are diploid, that is they contain two of (almost) every gene. They do so by having two copies of each autosome, (chromosomes 1-22) and two sex chromosomes (either XX or XY). The normal human karyotype when viewed down the microscope at mitotic metaphase is thus either 46 XX or 46 XY. (Meaning 46 coloured blobs, two of which are XX or XY). This picture shows a normal male mitotic metaphase spread next to an interphase nucleus. The primary constriction is the centromere, visible in the above picture as the point where the two chromatids remain attached, but also containing the kinetochore , the point of spindle attachment. Secondary constrictions are usually only found as the stalks connecting the short arms of the two groups of acrocentric chromosomes. When microscopes were improved to the point that the human karyotype could be reliably discerned (in the 1950s) the chromosomes could be grouped on the basis of their relative sizes and the relative lengths of their two arms, i.e. the positions of their centromeres. Now, banding techniques make it possible to identify each chromosome. If chromosomes are treated briefly with proteinase before staining then each chromosome has a characteristic banding pattern.
