PSYC 3480 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Derived Category, The Xx, Karyotype
Document Summary
Gender stereotype the beliefs that we associate with females and males [sic] these may not correspond to reality (matlin, 2012, p. 36). Note here that this locates stereotypes firmly in the cognitive domain. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes: 22 autosome pairs and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. F/dm offspring while the xy typically produces m/df offspring. The key to translating from the genotype (xx vs. xy plus all the other genetic information coded therein) to the phenotype (what we call female vs. male and all the other attributes) (this process is called sexual. Page 4 of 14 differentiation when referring to the development related to sex of the individual), is not thoroughly understood. We do know that there is the sex determining region of the y chromosome (sry). We know that when development follows the typical pattern, if. If there is no sry (i. e. , no y chromosome) or. Sry is not expressed, you get f/dm offspring.
