Lucy+gene+v.+chromosome+presentation

My part of the presentation is the difference between chromosomes and genes. Do the genes make up the gender of a child or is it the chromosomes? This part of the presentation will inform the class that sometimes it make say (XY) or (XX) but actually that child is lacking a chromosome to make them function as a normal child. There is a syndrome called swyer syndrome, which is a disorder a child might have. If a child is diagnosed with this syndrome, they usually won't be diagnosed until they reach the puberty stage of life and realize their gonads are nonfunctional. This part of the presentation will future inform the class about the syndrome and the possible treatments.
