How is super male syndrome passed from parent to offspring?

Super male syndrome, also known as XYY syndrome, occurs when a male has an extra Y chromosome, resulting in a chromosomal pattern of XYY instead of the typical XY. This genetic condition arises during the formation of sperm, where an error in cell division leads to the extra Y chromosome. It can be passed from an affected father to his offspring if he contributes the extra Y chromosome during fertilization, resulting in a son with the XYY genotype. This syndrome is not inherited in a traditional Mendelian manner but rather occurs as a random event during sperm development.
