Men will become extinct

Professor Graves, one of Australia’s most influential scientists, believes that women will win the battle of the sexes – and in the most definitive way possible.

She says that the inherent fragility of the male sex chromosome, the Y sex chromosome, means that men are sliding towards extinction.

Professor Graves’s prediction hinges around the number of genes on the male and female sex chromosomes.

The female, or X, chromosome, contains a healthy 1,000 or so genes.  

What's more, girls and women have two of them.

The Y chromosome started off with as many genes as its female counterpart.  

But over hundreds of millions of years it has crumbled away, leaving fewer than 100 genes in modern man.

This includes the SRY gene, the ‘male master switch’ that determines whether an embryo is male or female.

In a study published last year in the journal Nature, U.S. researchers found evidence to debunk the "so-called rotting Y theory" that assumed the human Y chromosome will continue to rapidly decay genetically until it has no genes.  Researchers at MIT compared the Y chromosome of the rhesus macaque, which shares common ancestors with chimpanzees and modern humans, to the chimpanzee and human Y chromosome sequences and found that humans had only lost one gene from the Y chromosome since the time the rhesus macaque and people took on separate evolutionary paths 25 million years ago. Researchers said their findings suggest that the human Y chromosome may not lose anymore of its remaining genes.

"The Y was in free fall early on, and genes were lost at an incredibly rapid rate," said researcher Whitehead Institute Director David Page, according to Medical Daily. "But then it leveled off, and it's been doing just fine since."

Researchers explained that with no further loss of genes on the rhesus Y, which is similar to the human Y, men should feel comforted that their Y chromosome won't be going anywhere.

Adantha teleedhu kaani if women have a defect in their X chromosome  they are less susceptible than men ani telusu since they have two copies and that is one of their strengths 

Hey @Rushabhi it’s been long time , how’s you ?
