The truth is you have no clue what biology, sex, gender, or truth are.Dumbass, an extra chromosome is not a mutation. Get someone to explain it to you you dishonest bitch.Link it, and the person who wrote it doesn't say the Syndrome is a Mutation, but that the Syndrome causes Mutations. I win.neither does this subject, and that is because you are unable to understand what a mutation is.
"What is a gene mutation and how do mutations occur?
A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes.
Gene mutations can be classified in two major ways:
- Hereditary mutations are inherited from a parent and are present throughout a person’s life in virtually every cell in the body. These mutations are also called germline mutations because they are present in the parent’s egg or sperm cells, which are also called germ cells. When an egg and a sperm cell unite, the resulting fertilized egg cell receives DNA from both parents. If this DNA has a mutation, the child that grows from the fertilized egg will have the mutation in each of his or her cells.
- Acquired (or somatic) mutations occur at some time during a person’s life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body. These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if a mistake is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed on to the next generation.
What is a gene mutation and how do mutations occur?
The most common symptom of Klinefelter syndrome is infertility because the genetic mutation causes males to produce less of the male hormone testosterone than healthy adult men. When the sex organs are underactive, it is called hypogonadism. Other symptoms may include reduced body and muscle tone (compared to males of the same age), enlarged breasts (called gynecomastia), difficulty communicating with others or expressing themselves, shyness, and intellectual and learning disabilities. In addition, males with this disorder have an increased risk of developing breast cancer and osteoporosis.
I already did. You just quoted it. Are you really this confused? You need help, seriously.
Yes, it is. You can deny all you want, but the truth remains.
