Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The XYY chromosome pattern was once thought to be linked to aggression and violence due to a small sample study in the 1960s. However, subsequent research has shown that there is no conclusive evidence linking this chromosome pattern to violent behavior. The XX pattern is typical for females and the XY pattern is typical for males, and there is no evidence that these chromosome patterns are linked to increased aggression or violence. The XXY pattern is associated with Klinefelter syndrome, which may be linked to some cognitive and behavioral differences, but is not necessarily linked to aggressive behavior.
