Which chromosomes from the sperm is necessary to produce a male?
x chromosome...!
Who makes the sex of a baby?
The sex of your baby is tottally dependant upon the male's sperm, each sperm has a specific sex chromosome, either a Y or an X . every egg of a female has only X sex chromosomes. When one sperm conjoins with one egg, the female gives her X chromosome and the male gives the chromosome (either X or Y) belonging to the sperm that made it to the egg first and will determine the sex. XX = Female XY = Male * All the things you hear about eating meat during your pregnancy will produce a boy and fruits will produce a girl are myth!
What determines if a pregnant women has a male or female?
The sperm can have either X or Y sex chromosome. If the sperm with X chromosome fertilize the ovum, you get female baby. If the sperm with Y chromosome fertilize the ovum, you get male baby. Ovum always has got X chromosome in it.
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.
In order to produce a male offspring an egg must be fertilized by a sperm carrying a?
Y chromosome. When a sperm with a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, the resulting offspring is male. On the other hand, if a sperm with an X chromosome fertilizes the egg, the offspring will be female.
Which sex cell controls the sex of a baby?
I will explain, but I don't know why you put this in cat behavior. The X chromosome and Y chromosome control gender. If an embryo's two chromosomes are XX, it will be a girl. If the chromosomes are XY, it will be male. A pair of chromosomes have to have at least one X chromosome in it, but can also have a Y chromosome.
A sperm carrying a Y chromosome can produce a?
Male zygote if it fertilizes the female sex cell, ovum
Is it true that a mans sperm cells determine if a child will be a male or a female?
Yes, it is true that a man's sperm cells determine the sex of a child. Sperm carries either an X or a Y chromosome; if the sperm fertilizes an egg with an X chromosome, the child will be female (XX), and if it fertilizes an egg with a Y chromosome, the child will be male (XY). Therefore, it is the combination of the sperm's chromosome and the egg's chromosome that ultimately determines the child's sex.
Difference between male and female sperm?
Although only males produce sperm, that does not mean that all sperm is male. There are two types of sperm: male and female. Male sperm carry the 'y' chromosome; female sperm carry the 'x' chromosome. If all sperm where male, then there would be no females born. Thus, the difference between male and female sperm is that male sperm carries the 'y' chromosome and produces male offspring and female sperm carries the 'x' chromosome and produces female offspring.
Is it the guy's sperm that makes the gender of a baby?
Yes. Sperm carry either an X or a Y chromosome. The eggs from a female's ovaries is always X. If the sperm has an X chromosome, the baby will be female. If the sperm has a Y chromosome, the baby will be male.
What TYPE of a sperm must fertilize an egg to result a female child?
X Chromosome results in a female Y Chromosome results in a male All sperm are either going to be an X or Y chromosome All eggs are X chromosome only
Why does the male determine the gender of a baby?
The gender of a baby is determined by the father's sperm at the moment of fertilization. Sperm cells carry either an X or a Y chromosome, and the combination of chromosomes from the sperm and egg determines the baby's gender. If a sperm carrying an X chromosome fertilizes the egg, the baby will be female (XX); if a sperm carrying a Y chromosome fertilizes the egg, the baby will be male (XY).
