1. 性染色體    Chromosomal Sex

正常時   Typical:
女性體細胞含有一個或兩個X染色體(XX)。
男性體細胞則含有一個
X和一個Y染色體XY

The cells of a female body contain a or  two X chromosomes (XX).
The cells of a male body one X and one Y chromosome (XY).

異常時   Atypical:
在罕見的案例裏,有一些成問題的例外,例如,像XXYXYYXXX的染色體複合的構成。天生帶有這種例外的染色體複合構成的個體,將有各種各樣的生理發育的障礙或者沒有生育能力。

In rare cases, there are problematic exceptions, for example combinations like XXY or XYY or XXX. Individuals born with these exceptional chromosome combinations have various problems of physical development or are infertile.
