Is there an X or Y chromosome in an egg?
An egg will have the X chromosome and the sperm will have an X or Y chromosome.
What chromosomes make a boy or a girl?
It is because males produce sperm cells with the X chromosome and sperm cells with the Y chromosome. If a sperm cell with a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, then that child would be a boy, as the Y chromosome produces male offspring. If a sperm cell with a X chromosome fertilizes an egg, then the child would be a girl, as X is the female chromosome. The mother always passes on a X chromosome, but the father can pass on an X or a Y and thus determine the sex of the baby.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two chromosomes X is fertilized by a sperm carrying one Y chromosome?
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two x chromosomesis fertilized by a sperm carrying one y chromosome?
Klinefelter's Syndrome results when a person has XXY chromosomes (an extra X chromosome). The main effects of this are hypogonadism and reduced fertility.
What do you call it when the sperm provides a Y chromosome and the egg provides an X chromosome?
a girl
Which chromosome from the sperm is necessary to produce a female?
Y chromosome
Are you more likely to have a boy if the father's family are all boys?
It is the sperm that fertilizes the egg that will determine the sex of your baby. Some sperm carry the X-chromosome and some sperm carry the Y-chromosome. If an X-chromosome-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a girl. If a Y-chromosome-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a boy.
What are the X and Y chromosomes?
Everybody has 23 pairs of chromosomes, half they get from their mother and half from their father. The 23rd chromosome you have contains the information of what sex you are. If you are a girl you will have a X chromosome from your mother and and X chromosome from you father. If you are a boy it means you will have a X chromosome from your mother and a Y chromosome from your father. When a sperm cell fertilises an egg the sperm will either be carrying the X chromosome from the male or a Y. If the sperm is carrying a X it will pair with the X chromosome from the mother making the baby a girl. If the sperm is carrying a Y chromosome it will pair with the X chromosome from the mother making the baby a boy! This means it is all down to the father whether the baby is a boy or a girl.
What sex chromosome is found in human egg cell?
By human egg cell I guess you mean the oocyte (the one produced by the mother). The oocyte always carries the X chromosome, the sperm can either carry the Y or the X chromosome. Interestingly, the sperm which carries the Y is actually quicker than the one carrying the X, maybe because the X chromosome is far larger. So, if the Y chromosome sperm reaches the egg first, the child will be a boy (XY), and if the X chromosome sperm beats him to it, the child will be a girl (XX).
Is there an X or Y chromosome in an egg?
An egg will have the X chromosome and the sperm will have an X or Y chromosome.
What chromosomes make a boy or a girl?
It is because males produce sperm cells with the X chromosome and sperm cells with the Y chromosome. If a sperm cell with a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, then that child would be a boy, as the Y chromosome produces male offspring. If a sperm cell with a X chromosome fertilizes an egg, then the child would be a girl, as X is the female chromosome. The mother always passes on a X chromosome, but the father can pass on an X or a Y and thus determine the sex of the baby.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two X chromosomes is fertilized by a sperm carrying on Y chromosome?
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
Does sperm contain x and y chromosome?
In humans the male sperm contains EITHER an X chromosome, or a Y chromosome since human gametes are haploid (n) in chromosome number.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two x chromosomes is fertilized by a sperm carrying one y chromosome?
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two chromosomes X is fertilized by a sperm carrying one Y chromosome?
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
What men should eat to increase Y sperm?
Increase Y chromosome sperm? Can't happen, ONE X and ONE Y chromosome in each
What syndrome is inherited when an egg carrying two x chromosomesis fertilized by a sperm carrying one y chromosome?
Klinefelter's Syndrome results when a person has XXY chromosomes (an extra X chromosome). The main effects of this are hypogonadism and reduced fertility.
