In the case of man the meiosis is otherwise known as spermatogenesis, as a result of which 4 haploid sperms are formed. The sperms differ from the other somatic cells not only in the no. of chromosomes but cytoplasm is also very much reduced. they have acrosomes, tail etc. After reduction division modification of the sperm cells occur which is otherwise known as spermiogenesis. In male the spermatogenesis occur after puberty but then onwards continuous.
In the case of females it is known as oogenesis, as result they will be giving rise to only one ovary.(during the first and second meiotic division cell division is anisogamy and give unequal daughter cells in which the smaller ones released as polar bodies.) The ovary is rich in cytoplasm and have haploid no of chromosomes. In the case of human the first meiotic division of all possible primary oocyte takes place in the embryonic stage and second stage occur after puberty periodically one in a month

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF MALE AND FEMALE CHROMOSOMES! the only difference is between chromosome #23: XY is male. XX is female.
Each have two sex chromosomes. Females have two X's and males have an X and a Y.
Every person has the same number of chromosomes, 46, 23 chromosomes from their mother and 23 chromosome from their father
the male chromosome is XY the female chromosome is XX
The male sex chromosome is XY, and females are XX. The X comes from the female, and an X or a Y from the male. When they meet, that determines whether the baby will be a boy or a girl.
X and Y chromosomes contain the genes that will determine a persons sex. The pairing of the two that will allow the person to be a male is (X,Y) and if the person is to be a female the pattern will be (X,X). In terms of size the (Y) chromosomes is smaller than the (X) but the over all shape of the chromosomes are the same.
The reason the chance of a zygote being a male of female is the same is due to simple genetics. Females only possess the X chromosome while males posses both an X chromosome and a Y chromosome. Since females only have an X chromosome they can only "give" an X chromosome while a male may give either an X or Y chromosome.
The Y-chromosome. Think of it this way: Each person contains the genes to be a female. These genes are inherited on the X-chromosome which every normal person has. However, if you have a Y-chromosome, you now posses the genes to make a male, and are thus will be a male.
In humans, which sex chromosome determines if an offspring is a male or female?
In humans, which sex chromosome determines if an offspring is a male or female?
It is on the X Chromosome (male have XY chromosome Females have XX Chromosome)
What differentiates a male from a female based off the chromosomes that are present is that a male organism will have X and Y chromosomes whereas a female organism will have X and X chromosomes.
If it has a x and y chromosome it is from a male if it has two x chromosome or is from a female
XY = Male XX = Female
Female transmit 23 chromosomes to the offspring. She has that unique chromosome called as X chromosome. This is transmitted to the offspring. From male you get either X or Y chromosome. From XX chromosome you get female child. From XY chromosome you get male child.
X chromosome
An x chromosome is specifically a feminine chromosome. With a x and y chromosome its male, with a x and x, it is a female.
It depends which species you are. There is the XY system (which mammals use) where it is the presence of the Y chromosome that induces male development. The Y chromosome contains genes like Sry that initiate the male developmental program. Male mammals have an X and a Y chromosome, female mammals have two X chromosomes. However, for other species, like birds, use the so-called ZW sex chromosome system where it is actually the absence of the W chromosome that permits male development - male birds have two Z chromosomes and female birds have a W and a Z chromosome. And then there's the X0 system, which many insects use, where two copies of an X chromosome results in a female but a single copy of an X chromosome results in a male.
Female transmit 23 chromosomes to the offspring. She has that unique chromosome called as X chromosome. This is transmitted to the offspring. From male you get either X or Y chromosome. From XX chromosome you get female child. From XY chromosome you get male child.
the male chromosome is XY the female chromosome is XX
