Homework Answers

Answer #1

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
