Thread: YY

the student teacher in my economics/government class told the class that there are 6 different genders, depending on what sex chromosomes one posesses. One of the combinations he mentioned was YY, but if a zygote ended up with 2 Ys, would it develop at all? I would think that there's too much 'stuff' on the X for anyone to survive without one. And any comments on the first part, about there being 6 genders, are most welcome as well.

Economics and government class, eh! Sounds like a tree hugging, left wing, politically correct liberal to me. What do you think?

Six genders!
XX
XY
YX
YY

Heterosexual male
Heterosexual female
Homosexual male
Homosexual female
Bisexual male
Bisexual female

Ah ha! Six genders. I was right. your teacher is a tree hugging, left wing, politically correct liberal.

i believe the genders included cases with 3 sex chromosomes(XXX, XXY, etc.), but not all. and sorry to burst your bubble, but he specifically said that sexual orientation has nothing to do with it. i'll ignore the rest.

There is no way that a person with YY could possibly exist... there is just not enough information on the Y chromosome. The X chromosome is huge and contains a large amount of information. However i've heard of... XX XY XXY XXX X XXXY XYY XXXX XXXXX so theres 9... maybe i'm missing some or but i believe all these have been documented.

it is possible to get YY but that featus will die

and you can be a female with XY you just dont react to the testosterone then and you never go throu puberty

Hey!

Maybe that's why I .. No Never mind..

so that "female Person" with the XY has female gonads(because they are ammune to testosterone) but correct me if i'm wrong they would have the mindset of male. ehhh i'm retarded today. never mind this comment.

A word of warning for all..... DONT google "shemale".

There is XO <-- Turner Syndrome (i think ... maybe ... some silly name like that anyway)
