Well, they can ...

Doctor's in the UK offer screening for Down's syndrome, Edwards' syndrome and Patau's syndrome at 10-14 weeks.

Please can you explain this in genetic terms?

As I understood it, sex is determined by the presence, or absence, of a Y chromosome, at the 23rd pair.

While exceptions exist, they're incredibly rare genetic observations and I have never heard or read it referred to as a "spectrum".
