This video is saying the extra Y chromosome has no effect on behaviour
Thanks
Is it true though?
VOX videos pander for so long
imagine being so dumb to think that saying "the extra y chromosome doesn't cause violent behaviour" means "the extra y chromosome doesn't affect you at all"
Blaze And Co. when the genes get dispersed the man either releases one X chromosome or one y. Women can only give X chromosomes. Which means that xy is a boy and XX is a girl. An extra y is impossible
Yxng Heavenly its possible to receive an extra sex chromosome through a mutation
Id like to see a YY man he would probably be just like vegeta
More like a potato.
it happens in fetuses that are miscarried
A human without an 'X' chromosome would die a stillborn. The 'Y' chromosome helps the body produce testosterone, but the 'X' chromosome is much more important in the survival of the fetus.
they can't exist without an X so it's not possible.
He'd be in war at the womb cause of the mom's hormones and when he's born he'd be the strongest person I'n life and even after that he'll still be battling cause of the mom's hormones in breast milk, then if he lives he'll be isolated in the world
XYY syndrome is a genetic condition in which a male has an extra Y chromosome.
Symptoms are usually few.
They may include being taller than average, acne, and an increased risk of learning problems.
The person is generally otherwise normal, including normal fertility.
The condition is generally not inherited from a person's parents but rather occurs as a result of a random event during sperm cell development.
Diagnosis is by a chromosomal analysis.
There are 47 chromosomes, instead of the usual 46, giving a 47,XYY karyotype.
Treatment may include speech therapy or extra help with schoolwork.
Outcomes are generally good.
Prevention is not possible.
The condition occurs in about 1 in 1,000 male births.
Many people with the condition are unaware that they have it.
The condition was first described in 1961.
I think I have it
Thanks for the facts!
i have it

Interesting. I definitely remember learning about that XYY were more likely to go to prison in high school biology (in the late 90s), hopefully they have updated the textbooks by now.
They did, my biology teacher even told us the story of the biais in the studies.
Giving people misandric beliefs from a young age
Probably an exaggeration. Most people with XYY will never even know they have it.
I graduated high school in 2015 and never heard of it so 🤷🏻♀️
No not really even in my AP Psychology class perpetuated this false theory in the late 2000's

The faults in our chromosomes
is that s play on 'The fault in our star's?
Ivan Smith the Y chromosome is not a broken X chromosome. The father either donates a Y chromosome or an X chromosome during fertilization since men have both. So the sex of the offspring is determined the second the egg is fertilized based off of if the sperm cell contains an X chromosome or a Y chromosome.

My brother has this and yes, he's very aggressive and kinda hyperactive. But still he's a warm person and not anyone with this sydrome is bad or a "criminal". He loves me and my family and he would do anything to protect us. Even if he cannot always control himself, hes trying to change. He's a very strong person with a big heart that's why I love him so much. He got teased a lot in high school, middle school, everywhere just bc he looks older than all the other kids at his school. It's just not fair. I wish he could be happy and proud of himself for what he is. He's such a kind and handsome person and it breaks my heart to see him like this
so do I and my anger is extreme sometimes
I know that I'm amazing When he merks someone don’t be surprised.
I know that I'm amazing doesn’t having XYY cause guys to hit puberty earlier than their XY counterparts ?
that video is actually wrong, having double Y actually makes the man more aggressive and unstable, but not necessasrily he is a criminal, most of these who goes to the prison goes for the same reasons as the ones with just one Y, having two Y's makes you more unstable but it doesnt mean that you are bound to be a criminal, mostly if you have emotional help

The combination of YY and YYY is impossible since the X chromosome is the one that the mother inherits to her children
Seeing as the X chromosome actually carries genetic information that's necessary for survival...
Well
I'm not sure how far you would get without an X but let's just say your parents won't have to worry about a name.
Fun fact, there are also two other genetic disorders, a female with just X (Turner Syndrome) and males with XXY (Kinefelter Syndrome). Both lead to to infertility. An interesting thing about Kinefelter is you get a guy who is like 90% male and 10% female
Yesss! I've learned this in med school lol
80% and 20%

Correction: There is no murder gene that makes us criminals per-se, but things like aggression can be found in our genes such as the warrior gene, Monoamine oxidase A, which is more prevalent in the most violent criminals.
Here's the the problem though, the gene only activates based on upbringing
upbringing just compounds the affect. if you didn't have MAO functioning you'd probably have a seriously addled brain chemistry.

It also relates to upbringing. You can't base the way a person comes out by their genetics alone. They're upbringing probably had a lot to do with why they were the way they were.

I don't know if the possibilities with the missing chromosones apply, because usually you get chromosom pairs.
But yes, you might be more likely to have male childrens
wonder if it can run in families
my paternal line hasnt had any female children in generations
In reproduction,male and female chromosomes mix to form the new life.
The funny part is that only the chromosomes of the father will be relevant to the gender/sex of the child.
xx - x x
xy - x female y male
So there are more chances
xx + xyy = xx /xy/xy
Griffin Richardson The real question.
I don't think that they even have an ability to reproduce
I'm a guy diagnosed with Jacobs Syndrome (XYY) it just makes me really tall. I also have mild autism which happens to a lot of guys who have it.

dude itd be so neat to have XYY lmao how do you get your chromosomes tested
also how do you get your blood tested bc id like to test both but idk how or where
So basically they are just only very taller than average, but also slightly dumber in average.
+Phanteus No no no, you missed the whole point; *researches* claim that having this gene will make you tall, dumb, and aggressive, but they only ever tested in prisons and mental institutions. The video its self is basically saying "we don't *know* what XYY does, because its never been properly tested"
If you only ever search for books in fire places, you will scientifically conclude that all books must be hot, but this is wrong because of *where* you were testing. To truly know what something is or does, you must follow the scientific method, and those scientists did not. They had too many variables.

Both genetics and culture matters, as it stands people seem to only want it to be one or the other.
And the opposite is you? Cause you seem kind of disappointed the extra chromosome has nothing to do with their behaviour.
I advocate the same thing, however environment has by far the strongest influence as environmental stimulus is what shapes genes to begin with and can reshape them in a matter of a single generation if the environmental stimulus drastically changes, meaning in a single generation, a person can drastically become genetically smarter, stronger, fitter, mentally more healthy and more adapted to something than their parents if they are heavily exposed to an external sensory experience that forces their genes to change to adapt to it, entire genes can drastically be altered by an environmental change whether it be cultural, chemical, social, geographic, dietary or otherwise, look up the study of epigenetics.
@@tuthabovee-motion4315 YES !!! ! AND even more so - they are plastic
Thank you for that great video! There are also syndromes with XXY (Klinefelter's), X (Turner's), and XXX (Triple-X) chromosomes. George Washington is speculated to have suffered from Klinefelter's syndrome due to his tall stature, womanly build, and possible sterility.
As an individual who helps overcome the biases and issues facing those with 47, XXY syndrome, this was amazing! Thank you!
By experimenting with my chromosomes, I wanted to get superpowers. Actually I ended up with Downes syndrome.
We actually did this "diseases" in school. Kinda scary that CZcams now recommend this
Its so insane. I knew about XYY but not in this light lol. This is so ridiculous.
This is really interesting. I clearly remember being taught this as true in my first year of high school in my science class. Also, the reverse saying that XXX meant super female, being extra emotional etc.
Had this video shown in my genetics class when learnt about chromosome abnormalities
Just studied about it in the class and they also taught us that the xyy are aggressive due to the high testosterone levels in their body.
"What does the Y stand for?"
YEEEEEEEEET
I'm abnormally tall for my age and have some pimples. I must be a convict

Isn’t Klinefelter’s XXY?
@@kemisulaiman, yes it is. I meant that the teacher mentioned that paper while talking about Klinefelter's.

So basically you are telling me Superman is an idiot? No wonder Batman can beat him.
this is why its important to emphasise the difference between correlation and causation
My aunt had a son last year and it ends up he has the extra y chromosome. The doctors said that it is slowing his muscle growth he was supposed to start crawling a month ago but he still doesnt. Do you think this is from the extra y
Anti-social: yes
Homicidal tendencies: yes
has acne: "asian"
is tall: "asian"
*a sin
*a Sian
The acne is caused by extra testosterone. Similarly when growing as a boy, the reason some people are much taller than others is that during puberty when growth happens if testosterone is present, or if an abnormally large amount is present you will grow taller. That's why most women are short, because normally they do not receive much testosterone until they are 20 and mostly done growing.
@SmokyAshes ~ And yet, one of the symptoms of men born with 47 XXY are also unusually tall compared to men with XY. I don't pretend to understand why that is, perhaps someone better versed in genetics could explain.
I didn't even know there was such a thing as an XYY person. I was simply oblivious of this myth.
Other combinations too. XXY, for instance.
Finally something I can review for my bio exam tomorrow
SHE SAID IT. Your born either a man or a girl!!! DNA FOR THE WIN!!!!
+Madam Cloud no
***** genes
She also said that masculinity and femininity is as much defined by the world around us (I would claim more) as they are by our genes.
+Raidillon55 Uhm, intersex people exist. They have genitals that are a mishmash of both male and female (also secondary characteristics that can be all over the place) even though they can have typical male or female DNA.
DNA doesn't tell you everything about a person's physical sex. And then there's Androgen insensitivity syndrome which leads to a person with XY chromosomes to develop like a female would.
There are plenty of conditions that cause physical development we normally don't associate with "female" or "male" chromosone pairs en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex#Disorders_of_sex_development
XX doesn't automatically lead to a female body and XY doesn't automatically lead to a male body.
It's not black and white, and we're just talking about the strictly physical aspects here.
I'm not even going to start about gender identity.
thank god i dont have any of those problems and am normal
One pair of chromosomes that is deadly:
YY.
*Reads title*

Masculinity and Femininity is as much defined by your environment than as the genes within us
No, you probably don't have an extra y chromosome.
I see a lot of people saying "Oh, Im tall, have acne, cant focus, and im antisocial!" yeah, youre a teenage boy.
Don't self diagnose yourself with a disorder that is not only very rare but also affects you way more intensely than what youre currently going through.
@@stewartsmith1464 thats okay and all, im talking about the people who obviously don't have it
it's not that rare if 1 in 1000 births has it, downs syndrome is 1 in 700 babies, making it almost just as 'very rare' , technically it would place 1 in 1000 births to have downs syndrome
Yes, nature and nurture. Our genetic predisposition definitely tells a lot about how we are going to turn out as much as the environment that we thrive in has an influence. The thing is, at some point in this video, the narrative begins to disregard the fact that indeed, an extra Y chromosome, which ultimately leads to an individual developing male sex organs, could be responsible for extreme aggression of some. Remember, having an extra Y chromosome, means an abnormal control or production of testosterone which could possibly affect the physiology, hence the behaviour, of an individual.
It doesn't, though.
It has been a theory but it's been disproven for quite some time now.
The issue with the first tests that seemed to confirm it was that they specifically took tall men in prisons and mental institutes as a sample (XYY men are generally taller) and tested them.
That'd be like taking all tall men you find in a library (again tall=more likely to be XYY) to see if XYY men read more than normal men.
In both cases you'd find more XYY men than 1 in 1000 because you picked a sample size based on the physical characteristics that XYY men commonly have.
I don't want to be this guy but I genuinely feel like I have this. I clearly remember that my mom told that I have this rare chromosome of sorts that the doctors found out, however it was a long time ago so my mom doesn't remember most of it. I have all of these symptoms and clearly remember how psychotic I can really be. Honestly I'm genuinely scared that I could have this considering all that has happened to me.
When VOX is debunking some myth, means it's not a myth anymore.
its all fun and games until the guy with xyy crushes the guy with yy.
Aside from just XYY, the question of the effect of genetics on behaviour, and criminality, is an interesting and morally complex one. There are almost certainly some genes that might give individuals a higher *predisposition* towards aggressiveness and violence, which may translate into more criminals having those genes. Similarly, there is a genetic component in psychopathy, even if not all people with psychopaths in the family are one themselves.
Should people with genetic predispositions be treated differently by the legal system? For instance, should individuals with a proven predisposition towards psychopathy be barred from giving evidence in court or positions of power? I personally think not, but its an interesting question.
1961: _SCP-096 has breached containment_
_All agency personnel be advised_
Had to get that bit in at the end there, didn't you
Almost all men in my family have xyy chromosome (on my fathers side), including myself, no criminal records on any of them, and they were soldiers during WWII, 2nd Shaba War and the Congo Crisis and some later became fighter pilots while others became engineers. So i don't think the statistics really count for us, except for the fact that we are well above average height.
It's always easier to blame problems on some extraordinary factor than to accept that the potential for agression and crime is present in any regular person. The XYY myth catching on does not surprise me at all.
Am a male.am cretive an in touch with my emotions. Iv diagnosed with depreasion an axitey and PTSD
A can also be voilent.loud. a have a criminal recored .i have been involved with drugs.use an supply.

An ur hearts actions
It would also be great if you had highlighted that this was used as some sort of cover up of the real reason people engage in criminality: exclusion, poverty or high rates of unemployment. In western societies that usually leads to mental issues.
How do I know if I have this? I’m just curious, I don’t think I have it but I do have many of its characteristics, so I would like to know how can someone test that? I’m just curious.
amazing till the last 20 seconds

you can google it, 6ft is definitely above average
thanks for this update ... I have been wondering, as I know a few wonderful XYY young men with NO criminal or weird behavior and as little boys .. their communities where worried because of all the negative hype around their XYY genes... they are now tall, good looking and mostly kind :-) being young men and all ....
“mostly kind” “being young men and all” are you implying that young men are typically not kind and they reached a good enough expectation for their demographic?
@@bjrock1235 My initial perception of their sentence is even opposite of what you have said, but I guess we cannot entirely be sure about what do they mean.
I do think the comment mean try to be not judgmental to different people.
There's a very high correlation between violence, aggresion, and y chromosomes across species.
I don't know if its a y but i have an extra chromosome. I don't think its a Y because my mother had told me how the doctor's had said I would be born with down syndrome and to end the pregnancy. Yet here I am perfectly normal and working as a house manager for an IDD group home.
What about XXY? Are those effects minimal as well?
