San Jose State Biology Professor Rachael French argued in a tweet this week that \u201cchromosomes don\u2019t determine sex.\u201d<\/h2>\n

San Jose State biology professor Rachael French has come under fire<\/a> this week for a tweet in which she claimed<\/a> that \u201cchromosomes don\u2019t determine sex.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHey geneticist here. You\u2019ve disingenuously and for bigoted purposes oversimplified a complex phenomenon,\u201d she wrote. \u201cA few notes: 1) Sex and gender aren\u2019t the same thing. 2) Chromosomes don\u2019t determine sex,\u201d French wrote in response to a tweet by Republican State Representative Briscoe Cain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know high school biology told you they do, but nope,\u201d she added in a follow-up tweet. \u201cA single gene on the Y starts a cascade of events involving genes all over the genome to determine sex. If any of those things changes, surprise!\u201d<\/p>\n

French\u2019s San Jose State University profile<\/a> shows that she does research on cellular response to alcohol exposure.<\/p>\n

\n

My lab uses the common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster<\/em> to study the genetic and molecular mechanisms mediating the cellular response to alcohol exposure. I have established a Drosophila<\/em> model of fetal alcohol syndrome. My current research focuses on using this model to identify the neurodevelopmental pathways that are altered by exposure to alcohol during development, and the genes underlying those pathways. Understanding these pathways may lead to future therapeutics to treat fetal alcohol syndrome.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

French doubled down on her claim on Thursday, in a tweet that disputed a claim made by Campus Reform that they reached out to her for comment prior to publishing their report on her \u201cchromosomes\u201d claim.<\/p>\n

\n

Chromosomes don\u2019t determine sex. <\/p>\n

And this article says \u201cCampus Reform has reached out to D.r. French for comment.\u201d<\/p>\n

No, they didn\u2019t. https:\/\/t.co\/DoEgxzi2BJ<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Rachael French (@DrRachaelF) December 28, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to science educator Regina Bailey, chromosomes are responsible<\/a> for determining a large number of human characteristics, including sex.<\/p>\n

\n

Chromosomes are long, segments of genes that carry heredity information. They are composed of DNA and proteins and are located within the nucleus of our cells. Chromosomes determine everything from hair color and eye color to sex. Whether you are a male or female depends on the presence or absence of certain chromosomes. Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46. There are 22 pairs of autosomes (non-sex chromosomes) and one pair of sex chromosomes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
