I really hope that this is a joke question. Otherwise just give up now, it's not worth it.

What do you call it when the sperm provides a Y chromosome and the egg provides an X chromosome?
a girl
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 will be the sex of the offspring if a sperm carring X-chromosome fertilises the egg?
The offspring would be a girl.
A child will be a girl if she receives what chromosomes from father and what chromosomes from mother?
A child's sex is actually determined entirely by his or her father. All eggs in a woman's body contain and X chromosome, whereas sperm cells contain either X or Y. The female sex chromosomes are XX and the male sex chromosomes are XY. Thus, if the sperm that fertilizes the egg contains an X chromosome, the child will be a girl. If the sperm contains a Y chromosome, the child will be a boy.
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 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.
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.
How baby's sex is determined?
The babies sex is determined by the sperm. The egg has XX chromosome and each sperm cell is either a XX or XY chromosome. So which ever sperm cell reaches the egg and implants determines the sex. If the sperm was an XX chromosome the baby would be a girl, if the sperm was XY chromosome the baby will be a boy. Hope this helps!
How is a baby sexs determine?
It's determined by the genetic chromosome of the sperm. Women have only one X chromosome in the egg (both egg and sperm have 23 pairs of chromosomes, which unite to form 46). On the other hand, men have either X or Y chromosomes. If an egg (X chromosome) joins with an X chromosome sperm, the result will be a girl. If an egg (X chromosome) joins with a Y chromosome sperm, the result will be a boy. In other words: the guy determines the sex of a baby :)
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.
What will be the sex of the offspring if a sperm carring X-chromosome fertilises the egg?
The offspring would be a girl.
A child will be a girl if she receives what chromosomes from father and what chromosomes from mother?
A child's sex is actually determined entirely by his or her father. All eggs in a woman's body contain and X chromosome, whereas sperm cells contain either X or Y. The female sex chromosomes are XX and the male sex chromosomes are XY. Thus, if the sperm that fertilizes the egg contains an X chromosome, the child will be a girl. If the sperm contains a Y chromosome, the child will be a boy.
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).
How do you become a boy or girl?
Sex is determined by a pair of sex chromosomes. Males have XY chromosomes and females have XX chromosomes. In the fertilization stage where the sperm combines with the egg, the sex of the offspring depends on whether the sperm carries a X or Y chromosome. The ovum always carries a X chromosome because females only have X chromosomes. So, if the sperm carries the X chromosome, the offspring will have XX chromosome and becomes a girl. If it carries the Y, the baby becomes a boy. X (sperm) + X (egg) = XX (female) Y (sperm) + X (egg) = XY (male)
How does a boy become adoloscent?
When a boy becomes an adolescent, he has to be at least 13 years of age, and reach puberty.
