Показать описание
Turner syndrome is a sex chromosome condition in females where only one X chromosome is present and the other X chromosome is missing or altered. The missing or altered X chromosome affects development before and after birth, most often leaving affected females with a loss of ovarian function and mild to serious physical differences.

In trying to understand what the first female "sacrifice" to start the human race must have gone through, I wonder what she went through.

Cardiac problems.
Kidney problems.
Speech problems.

Anti-Malarian hormone?

How did that come to be?

Can Turner syndrome or a condition like it develop because of a defective Y chromosome instead of a defective or missing X chromosome?

Hearing how severely these conditions impact people's lives, it's absolutely infuriating that gender ideologists would use them as pawns in their stupid postmodern games.

Good video. One question though. There are billions of people in the world struggling on with one X chromosome, and they seem to get along fine. They also have a Y chromosome, but we are advised that most of that has to do with sexual development, so that stuff would be of no use to a single X karotype woman. There are some pseudoautsomal regions on the Y, of course. But are they that critical to survival ?

It seems odd that males can struggle by with a single X. assisted by a single Y, while 99% of females wih a single X don't make it as far as birth, and the few that do suffer from a serious disability.

What's that little Y doing to help males survive with their single X, aside from its sex determining function ?
