In nearly all mammals, the SRY gene determines the sex of offspring and is located on the Y chromosome, which is much smaller than the X chromosome. More detailed genetic testing found that he had an SRY gene on one of the X chromosomes. A foetus will, by default, develop as female unless the SRY gene on the Y chromosome is turned on. |
