A member asked:
How do chromosomes determine a person's gender?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cromosomas: Los cromosomas contienen 22 pares no sexuales (o autosomas, 22 de la madre y 22 del padre), y 2 pares sexuales (el par 23, uno de la madre y uno del padre). La información genética de una mujer es 46 XX, al sólo tener X, hereda una X al hijo. El padre tiene 46 XY, por lo cual la información genética del hombre es la que decide el sexo, al poder heredar cromosoma X o Y (XX=mujer y XY=hombre).
