Why is it that ALL men always have to have both

[LaraMN]

an X AND a Y chromosome?

What? X's aren't good enough for you?
You're afraid to commit?
Can't have the same chromosome twice?

Sheesh.

I know. I'm dorking out. Embrace it.

1. In mammals, males are the ones with the different chromosomes.

In birds, it's the females that are different.

Trip out. :wow:

2. Wow. That's even trippier than the fact that birds can't smell things.

Birds are like aliens. Aliens who sing well.

4. Some men even have two Y chromosomes.

But somehow I doubt I am one of those. :P

5. Why oh why YY?

6. Some men do have two X chromosomes.

Just to screw with you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XXY :P

7. If it makes you feel any better

since men have only one X chromosome (and the Y is smaller and different) men are much more succeptable to recessive traits which women's 2nd X usually compensates for (sex linked disorders they are called). That's why color blindness is almost always a male issue because the the gene is an x chromosome trait.....
Now thats a dorky response!;-)

8. In an equal measure of dorkitude,

I already knew that!

:rofl:

It's interesting, though, isn't it?

Otherwise it leaks out at inconvenient times.
