Because the male carries one X and one Y chromosome, whereas a female carries two X chromosomes. Therefore, all female gametes (eggs) will contain an X chromosome, whereas male gametes (sperm) will contain either the X or the Y chromosome.
When one sperm fuses with one egg, it will either be XY (male) or XX (female), depending on which of the male's sperm, the one with the X or the one with the Y, made it there first.
The sex of a child is determined by the father because the genes that determine sex come from the male sperm.
There are two kinds of sex chromosome X and Y that result in two different sex types: XX in females and XY in males. A child will always get a X chromosome from their mother, but the sex depends on which chromosome the male gives, which is completely random, you could get the X chromosome making you female or you could get the Y chromosome making you male.
No, the male determines the sex of a child.
We call these sex chromosomes. Whether you are a male or female depends on the presence or absence of certain chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. If you have two XX, you will show female characteristics and If you have XY you will show male characteristics.
Chromosomes that aren't sex chromosomes are called autosomes. There are 44 autosomes in a normal human somatic cell and 22 in normal human gametes. The only chromosomes that affect the sex of an organism is the X and/or Y chromosome. XX = Female and XY = Male.
The sex of a child is determined by the father because the genes that determine sex come from the male sperm.
The human X and Y chromosomes are:both present in every somatic cell of males and females.approximately equal in size.almost entirely homologous, despite their different names.called "sex chromosomes" because they determine an individual's sex.
XY
The male
There are many clues that help to determine if an actual human skeleton can be deciphered as male or female. The density of bones and joints as well as placement of hip bones can reveal the sex of a skeleton, although it is more difficult to determine if the skeleton is that of a child. When the skeleton is drawn, however, it is left up to the artist as to whether the sketch is of a male or female.
Sex chromosomes are genes and DNA you get from both of your parents. They can either be X or Y (X being female, Y being male) which determine your gender. A human has 2 sex chromosomes.
A male human has one X and one Y sex chromosome.
There are two kinds of sex chromosome X and Y that result in two different sex types: XX in females and XY in males. A child will always get a X chromosome from their mother, but the sex depends on which chromosome the male gives, which is completely random, you could get the X chromosome making you female or you could get the Y chromosome making you male.
Testosterone is most important human male sex hormone . there are many varieties of it but all are cholesterol derivatives .
A human being, usually an adult male who attempts to have sexual relations with a minor, typically female.
Because males carry both the X and Y chromosomes in their sperm, they are the deciding factor when it comes to the sex of the baby. Unlike females who only carry the X chromosome.
It is true that the sex of the child is completely dependent on the male. This is because genetically men are XY and women are XX. This means that the woman can only donate the X chromosome to her child, while the father can either donate an X or a Y. If the father donates the X to the child, it will be XX and become a female, if the father donates a Y to the child, it will be XY and will become a male.
