It's the male who determines the sex of offspring. Females carry only the X chromosome (XX). The man carries both X and Y (men are XY). The woman can only contribute the X since it's all she has. The man can potentially contribute either the X or the Y, so a combination of XX or XY is possible.
No. it is determined by the male parent's chromosomes.
Technically, the sex is determined by the father. The egg is always an x chromosome. The sperm can be either an x or a y chromosome. An xx makes a female, and an xy makes a male.
No, the sex of the offspring is determined by the combination of chromosomes from both parents. In mammals, females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The sex of the offspring is determined by whether the father contributes an X or Y chromosome during fertilization.
Whether they have 2 X chromosomes= girl, of one X chromosome and one Y chromosome= boy
True. The sex of offspring is determined by the sex chromosome contributed by the female parent. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome.
Chromosomes
The sex of the offspring is always determined by the sperm: this is the same in pretty well all animal life, including human reproduction. The gamete in a cow always carries the X chromosome. The gametes in a bull carry both X and Y chromosomes, which mean that if the sperm with an X chromosome fuses with the gamete of the cow, the offspring will be female. If the sperm carries a Y chromosome and fuses to the female gamete of the cow, then the offspring will be male.
Yes, the sex of the offspring is determined by the chromosomes contributed by the parents. The female parent always gives an X chromosome, while the male parent can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome, determining whether the offspring will be male (XY) or female (XX).
The sex of offspring is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of a Y chromosome determines the development of male characteristics.
No. The sex of the embryo is determined at the time of conception.
The genes that are carried in the sperm to the ova. If the 23rd chromosome of the sperm is 'X', the offspring will be female. If it is 'Y', the offspring will be male.
Nettie Stevens discovered that sex chromosomes differ in size in 1905. She observed that the sex chromosomes in mealworms determined the sex of the offspring.
