Nov 26, 2023 at 21:42 comment added Maximilian Press @Aurelius It seems like OP is talking about whether all cells always have identical sex chromosomes within an organism- OP should feel free to update if it's otherwise. Mosaicism means exactly that not all cells have identical karyotype. Mosaicism will be apparent in any collection of cells greater than 1 if any two of them differ in karyotype.
Nov 26, 2023 at 19:58 comment added Aurelius @MaximilianPress but doesn't sex chromosome mosaicism affect the entire organism? I guess OP is asking for that but in some cells only
Nov 26, 2023 at 19:19 comment added Maximilian Press Same as comment on Aurelius' answer: "sex" isn't a property of a cell. At best, it is a property of a whole organism related to its reproductive plumbing. I think that you are interested in the idea of "karyotype" and "aneuploidy", and more specifically the idea of sex chromosome mosaicism is well known.
