	X chromosome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chromosomal conditions involving the sex chromosomes often affect sex determination (whether a person has the sexual characteristics of a male or a female), sexual development, and the ability to have children (fertility).
		The sex chromosomes are one of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes.
		The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in humans and other animals (the other is the Y chromosome).

	Sex-determination system - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Sex-determination system
		Most fish have a very flexible system of sex determination, which can be affected by external factors.
		In humans, sex is determined by the male.
		In many species, the sex of an individual is dictated by the two sex chromosomes (X and Y) it receives from its parents.

	Millennia still mean early days for newly identified sex chromosome
		In new work, Dr. Catherine Peichel and colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, along with Dr. David Kingsley and colleagues at the Stanford University School of Medicine, have found that threespine stickleback fish have a genetic sex-determination system in which females are XX and males are XY.
		The evolution of a genetic sex-determination system is often accompanied by the evolution of sex chromosomes.
		Some experimental data from young sex chromosome systems in plants and insects suggest that there are common themes underlying the formation of sex chromosomes.

	Talk:Sex-determination system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I have read information to the effect that the WW:WZ system for birds AND snakes, (i'm not sure about insects) is a reverse xy system in that as the articles says two of the same chromosomes are needed for male determination, instead of the XX style in human.
		From the definition, one could conclude that a sex-determination system is a method that, when applied to a certain individual, tells you whether that individual is a male or a female.
		In that sense, a sex-determination system for dogs would be "look if you can find testicles".

	MCDB 2150 -- Lecture 11
		XY males are hemizygous: One of the features of an X/Y sex chromosome system is that females have two copies of the X chromosome, one of which is inherited from each parent, whereas males have only one, inherited from the mother, and paired with a Y chromosome inherited from the father.
		Patterns of inheritance: In this lecture, we will focus primarily on patterns of inheritance in the XX/XY system in mammals, including humans, and in Drosophila, with some brief references to other systems.
		However, individuals of both sexes normally express low levels of the hormones associated primarily with the other sex, and cases can be found within the usually accepted range of normalcy where there is some degree of expression of facial hair in women or breast enlargement in men.

	PAG-XI-P662: SEX CHROMOSOME MARKERS IN PACIFIC SALMON (Oncorhynchus spp.)
		Pacific salmon possess an XY sex determination system where the two sex chromsomes are still largely homologous and heteromorphic structure in the vicinity of the sex-determination locus (the differential region) is difficult to identify cytogenetically.
		In family crosses, the markers were found by PCR analysis to be tightly linked to the sex-determination locus (SEX) on the Y chromosome.
		Despite their close linkage with SEX in the four species examined, neither of the two markers are sex-linked in sockeye salmon, rainbow trout or Atlantic salmon indicating that this linkage was established after the early radiation of the Pacific salmon.

	Chromosomal Sex Determination.
		In chromosomal sex determination, the assortment of chromosomes during metaphase of Meosis I ensures that exactly half the male gametes contain X chromosomes, and exactly half contain Y. This system produces 50% males and 50% females.
		In butterflies and birds, females are the heterogametic sex (females are ZW, males are WW).

	Sex-determination system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most familiar sex-determination system is the XY sex-determination system found in human beings and most other mammals.

		This desert specialist has a totally biarmed, 102-chromosome karyotype with pericentromeric heterochromatin and a XY sex determination system.
		Since diploid number is not exactly twice that of any closely related species living today, chromosome elimination (i.e., in the sex-chromosomes and in the pair with the secondary constriction) is presumed to have occurred during the evolution of this lineage.
		Although polyploidy in animals is believed to disrupt the balance of X chromosome relative to gene products normally maintained by dosage compensation, disomy for the sex chromosomes in T.

		Humans (and all mammals) possess sex chromosomes, X and Y. Females are homogametic (i.e., homozygous for X: XX) and males are heterogametic (i.e., heterozygous: XY).
		Sex chromosomes are common in reptiles where either male or female can be the heterozygous sex, but sex chromosomes are often absent in amphibians and fish.
		The main functions of the reproductive system are to 1) reproduce, and 2) produce genetically diverse offspring.

	Sex determination of Cannabis - Genetic, environmental, or both? - Marijuana Growing
		All sex-determination systems are enzyme/hormone/chemically controlled, but the triggering mechanisms for the determination systems vary from purely chromosome-controlled to purely environmental.
		The genetic-afficionado's approach is that it is determined at pollination, and they base their arguements on the human and mammal XX/XY chromosome-determination system.
		Some species have their sex determined by bacterial infections, and others again practice sex-changes, where they start out as one gender and changes sex during their lifetime.

	Pharyngula::Maybe Y chromosomes make you stupid…?
		(Ok, that was a lame, obscure, one-elective-in-repro-biology geek joke--mammals have an XY-chromosome sex-determination system, while birds by contrast have a WZ-chromosome sex-determination system.
		Seriously, though, PZ and coturnix--are the two systems totally independent, or does the recent literature on platypus sex chromosomes suffice to connect them, or is it still an open question?
		I think the answer is that they're independent -- synteny analysis shows that the avian sex chromosomes are not homologs of the mammalian sex chromosomes, as I recall.
