Do a person with sex chromosomes XXXY consider as a woman?

Answer 1

I think a person with that many extra chromosomes would be dead long before he/she was born. But I think it's presence of a y chromosome rather than the absence of a second x that makes the baby be a boy, so I think that if it were possible for a baby to have that many extra chromosomes it would be a boy.

Answer 2

Xxxy Chromosome

Answer 3

I am not sure how many documented cases of XXXY there have been, but something close to that is XXY. This condition is part of a general group of conditions called polyploidity. This occurs when the cell receives an extra chromosome due to errors during meiotic division. XXY is actually called Klinefelter's syndrome. A person which that condition is considered a male and is in fact often called a 47, XXY male. The 47 refers to the total number of chromosome that the patient has. This is very uncommon and happen in 1 in 500 to 1000 cases. Males suffering from this are usually sterile. XXXY was once thought to be a variation of XXY, but it is no longer considered as such. XXYY is still considered as a variation however.

-Notice that it's much less likely for a person to have 2 extra chromosome than even to having one extra. People with XXYY happen once in ever 17000 babies. That requires not just one but two genetic errors.

Answer 5

There has been no recording of that chromosomal pattern. Klinefelter's syndrome is a condition caused by a chromosome nondisjunction in males; affected individuals have a pair of X sex chromosomes instead of just one, and is associated with additional risk for some medical conditions. It is named after Dr. Harry Klinefelter, a medical researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, who first described this condition in 1942.

The 48, XXYY (male) syndrome occurs 1 in 17,000 births and has traditionally been considered to be a variation of Klinefelter's syndrome. XXYY is no longer generally considered a variation of KS, although it has not yet been assigned an ICD-9 code.

Answer 6

Scientifically, individuals with XXXY chromosomes are considered as males as they have a Y chromosomes, but due to so many extra X chromosomes, the rate at which X chromosomes express their phenotype is faster than that of Y, so these individuals may appear to be of kinda female. but they do have male sex organs since the Y chromosome contains the testicular-differentiating genes, but the organs are reduced due the fact that there are many X chromosomes.

Answer 7

Thats impossible, it cant happen. Though it is possible to have XXX females or XXY males. XXX and XXY are disorders though and whoever has these genes is sterile. If this is a question on homework or something, anything that has a Y chromosome is a male because the Y chomosome will always code for male organs

Answer 8

I don't think XXXY is possible. People can be born with an extra chromosome, but normally it causes birth defects and/or handicaps. (See link). Although the Y only goes to men.

Answer 9

actually that DNA would be imposible. even with mutations and mutagens the only possible DNA sequences would be XXYY, XYY, XXY, XY, XXXX, XXX, and XX. but if that sequence of DNA were possible it would still be a guy because the Y chromosome is the one that determains the sex of the organism. without a Y it would be a woman, with a Y it is a man.

Answer 10

That isn't possible for a viable fetus. But I guess you could consider the theoretical lump of discarded flesh whatever you wish.
