Considering that males are produced by klinefelter (XXY)syndrome, XYY, and normal XY chromosomal combination and females are produced by Turner (XO) syndrome, poly-X (XXX,XXXX) and normal XX combinations it is obvious that A. maleness results from the presence of only one X chromosome B. maleness results from the absence of two or more X chromosome. C. maleness results from the minimal presence of two or more X chromosomes D. femaleness results from the presence of two or more X chromosomes. E. sex determination is a delicate balance between XandYchromosomes
Consider that males are produced by klinefelter (XXY)syndrome, XYY, and normal XY chromosomal combination and females are produced by Turner (XO) syndrome, poly-X (XXX,XXXX) and normal XX combinations. The above shows that the moment one inherits the Y chromosome from Dad, we have a male, and a female otherwise. Hence, A. maleness results from the presence of only one X chromosome (not true in the case of Klinefelter's syndrome) B. maleness results from the absence of two or more X chromosome. (not true in the case of Klinefelter's syndrome) C. maleness results from the minimal presence of two or more X chromosomes (nothing suggests this) D. femaleness results from the presence of two or more X chromosomes. (not true in the case of Turner's syndrome) E. sex determination is a delicate balance between X and Y chromosomes (that's the only deduction we can make, I guess)
