The chromosome carried only by the sperm is called the Y chromosome, which determines the male gender when combined with the X chromosome from the egg during fertilization.
Which gamete determines the gender of the offspring in homosapians?
The sperm gamete determines the gender of the offspring in humans. Sperm carries either an X or a Y sex chromosome, while the egg always contains an X chromosome. If a sperm with an X chromosome fertilizes the egg, the offspring will be female (XX). If a sperm with a Y chromosome fertilizes the egg, the offspring will be male (XY).
Which gamete determines the gender of the young?
In humans females are homogametic and males are heterogametic. It is the male biological parent who contributes the sex chromosome that determines the sex of any child.Human females are XX and all their ova carry an X chromosome. Females always give their children an X chromosome.Human males are XY and half their spermatozoa carry an X chromosome and half carry a Y chromosome. Depending on the sex chromosome in its biological father's spermatozoon, a child receives an X or a Y chromosome from its biological father.If a child receives an X chromosome from its father she will be XX and a girl. If a child receives a Y chromosome from its father he will be XY and a boy.
What determines the gender of children?

Where are the genes that determine gender found?

Which pair of chromesomes determines gender?
Chromosome pair 23 determines the gender of a human. These chromosomes will either be two X's for females, or an X and a Y for males.
Who makes the sex of the baby?

If a human gamete with an extra chromosome participated in fertilization with a normal human gamete what condition results?
A trisomy. Trisomies are usually fatal in all chromosome pairs except 5, 13, 21 (these cause Down syndrome), and 23 (The chromosome pair that determines gender)
Do male dogs get the genes of their father when born?
They get the genes of both parents. Only one chromosome determines gender, but the rest of the traits are determined by both parents.
