7) Why aren't Turners females who have one X chromosome phenotypically normal given that males only have one X and are normal and all female mammals inactivate one of their 2 X chromosomes leaving with one X just like Turners females and these females are also normal, but Turner's females are not normal (have abnormal ovaries). Why?   8.Sex Determination A .Compare sex determination in humans (what genetically and biochemically determines male vs female) and compare this to sex determination in Drosophila fruit flies what genetically and biochemically determines male vs female in fruit flies). B.  What roles do the genes for a) sisterless, b) sex lethal (sxl) , tra (transformer gene)  and dsx-f (double sex)  play in Drosophila sex determination
