Question
Chapter 10, Problem 8WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
“Whether the condition of Y chromosome infertility is inheritable or not”.
Concept introduction:
The female carries two X chromosomes whereas male carry one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome contains the testis determinant gene (SRY gene). The Y chromosome also contains other genes which are necessary for the production of sperm.
