C) While sex chromosomes determine different genders, they look the same until they are stained.
D) In humans all 46 chromosomes have an identical match called the homologue.

An individual with Swyer syndrome (46, XY) differs from an individual with Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) because


A) an individual with Swyer syndrome has a Barr body, while an individual with Klinefelter syndrome does not.
B) an individual with Klinefelter syndrome has a functional SRY gene on his Y chromosome, whereas an individual with Swyer syndrome does not.
C) both individuals have a functional SRY gene, but the extra X chromosome makes the individual with Klinefelter syndrome appear female.
D) neither individual has a functional SRY gene, but the X chromosome of the individual with Swyer syndrome has a functional SRY and appears male.
E) an individual with Swyer syndrome lacks a functional SRY gene, but appears male because it has moved to the X chromosome as in an individual with Klinefelter syndrome.

One major difference between meiosis I and meiosis II is that

C) the resulting cells at the end of meiosis I are diploid, while the cells at the end of meiosis II are haploid.
D) in telophase of meiosis I, four gametes form from the parent cell, and in telophase of meiosis II, each parent cell gives rise to two identical daughter cells.
