potassium and sodium ions |
||
the inside and outside of the cell |
||
phosphoric acid and glycolipid layers |
||
resting and action potentials |
Ans:b)Cells no longer respond to testosterone
explaination :Androgen receptor is the site where testosterone binds and perform function that is male secondary sexual chracters so individual with an androgen receptor (AR) deletion develop female sex characteristics even when testosterone levels are high because it become insensitive to testosterone.
ans-12)The presence of the SRY gene
explaination:In pcr assay gene or DNA detection occur.
Ans-13)Y chromosome
SRY gene is present on Y chromosome
Ans-14)47, XXY
no of barr body =(no of X chromosome -1)
here no of barr body is =2_1=1
