YoungHak Kim Who is responsible for determining gender? (5E model)
2
In Korea, people had a preference for sons. About 500 years ago, in Chosun dynasty, if a wife didn't give birth to a son, she often was divorced. Is that situation reasonable and rational? Didn’t a husband have any responsibility for determining a son? "In a biological perspective, who is responsible for determining a son, husband or wife?" (Draw a diagram by using the symbol of sex chromosomes.)
3
Based on meiosis and fertilization, explore sex determination.
4
Females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), while males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY). Female eggs have one kind of sex chromosome: X Male sperms have two kinds of sex chromosome: X, Y When sperm(X) meets egg(X), XX means female gender. When sperm(Y) meets egg(X), XY means male gender. Thus gender is determined by male sperm, because females only have X and gender is determined by which male chromosome(XY) is combined with that.

3. This is a healthy human chromosome set. 1) How many chromosomes does it have? 2) Is this chromosome set for Male or female?
6
4. This is another human chromosome set. 1) What is the difference between the healthy chromosome set and this set?
7
2) We call it 'Turner syndrome ". Explain the reason why she doesn't have two ( ) chromosomes. ? ? ? ?? ??
8
Most girls are born with two X chromosomes, but girls with Turner syndrome are born with only one X chromosome or they are missing part of one X chromosome. Girls with Turner syndrome are usually short in height. Turner syndrome prevents the ovaries from developing properly, which affects a girl's sexual development and the ability to have children.

By using website, research some disease examples about nondisjuction of sex chromosome and write a paragraph explaining why it occurs. Then draw diagram and explain process of sex chromosome separation indicating where the problem of nondisjunction occurs.
