Describe the XYY Syndrome and Triple X Syndrome

What will be an ideal response?


As the names imply, these conditions occur when a normal ovum is fertilized by a sperm that has two Y chromosomes or two X chromosomes, or when an ovum with two X chromosomes is fertilized by a normal X sperm. The XYY individual may grow up as a normal male and the XXX as a normal female, and so often their unusual genetic status is not detected. However, many do suffer from some genital abnormalities, fertility problems, and possible learning difficulties later in life.
