The origin and function of the mammalian Y chromosome and Y‐borne genes – an evolving understanding

1 Apr 1995

Abstract excerpt

Mammals have an XX:XY system of chromosomal sex determination in which a small heterochromatic Y controls male development. The Y contains the testis determining factor SRY, as well as several genes important in spermatogenesis. Comparative studies show that the Y was once homologous with the X, but has been progressively degraded, and now consists largely of repeated sequences as well as degraded copies of X...
