The Y Chromosome Is Going To Disappear, Scientists Say

The male Y chromosome has disappeared from a species of rat, leading scientists to investigate how humans might also lose ours in the near future.

It's not all bad news for men though, as a paper published in the journal PNAS by scientists at Hokkaido University in Japan has discovered why this might not signal the end of males.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, one pair of which are the sex chromosomes. In biological females, there are two copies of the same type, giving them the genotype XX, while males possess a second, shrunken chromosome referred to as the Y chromosome, giving them XY.

"The mammal Y is a weird little chromosome with hardly any genes on it and a lot of DNA junk. But one of these genes is SRY, the male-determining gene," Jenny Graves, a sex chromosome geneticist at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, told Newsweek

Very interesting topic I love to see more topics from you like this I never read this one I mean more health or what people are seeing in USA happing like news about crimes to anything it's good to break it up from politics

Maybe the Far-Right Radicals is part of this, so this helps the world to have more Children just makes no sense.

Maybe eventually, but apparently the rate of loss has slowed considerably.

"Graves's research suggests that 166 million years ago, the Y chromosome had 1,669 genes — "same as the X-chromosome" at that time, she said. 'So it doesn't take a great brain to realize that if the rate of loss is uniform — 10 genes per million years — and we've only got 45 left, the whole Y will disappear in 4.5 million years.'

Uniform is the key word here. More recent research suggests that the rate of degradation has slowed over time. In a 2005 study published in the journal Nature (opens in new tab), researchers compared the human Y chromosome with that of a chimpanzee. Then in 2012, the same team of researchers sequenced the Y chromosome of a rhesus monkey, again publishing the results in Nature. The researchers found that the human Y chromosome has lost only one gene since humans and rhesus monkeys diverged evolutionarily 25 million years ago. "

A sensational shocking headline. But "rat no male" means no baby rat and less pests. We can't base human loss of y' on rat. Just for a sensation.

Also the mention of sry' in article assumed two females can have a baby. How can i be the only one to notice?
