Why would XY lead to extremes just because men are more susceptible to X-linked recessive diseases? That's a total non-sequitur.

- lotusleaf1987 16y agoIt was an example because I'm at work and don't have time to find another...But anyways the X is larger than the Y chromosome and also has more genetic information. So XX would have more genetics information, thus moderating the extremes---height, weight, intelligence etc. Whereas the Y these would be more pronounced because there would be fewer chances to have the genetics balance out. I can't explain it any better than that or I would. I am just trying to have a discussion, not an argument.
