In human genetics, 22 pairs of chromosomes control general body characteristics. Describe the specific chromosomal difference between human males and females in the 23rd pair.

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder caused by a recessive allele. If a man who is a carrier for cystic fibrosis and a woman who does not carry the allele at all have a child, explain the probability of that child being a carrier of the disorder. In your answer, include the genotypes of the parents and the expected ratio of the offspring genotypes using a genetic model.

In human body cells, chromosomes are normally found in pairs. One of the 23 pairs carries the genes that determine sex. Explain the specific chromosomal difference between a human male and a human female.
