The Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome and contains fewer genes. It carries the genes necessary for determining male sex and some other genes, but it lacks many of the genes present on the X chromosome. This is why the Y chromosome does not carry any alleles in the same way that the X chromosome does.
The sex chromosome typically carried by an ovum is X-chromosome. The sperm may carry either x or y sex chromosome.
Men typically have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. Women typically have two X chromosomes. So-called XX males have two X chromosomes; thus they are genetically female but otherwise appear to be male.
The male gamete is comprised, on average, of 50% of the X chromosome and 50% of the Y chromosome.
In humans females are homogametic and males are heterogametic. It is the male biological parent who contributes the sex chromosome that determines the sex of any child.Human females are XX and all their ova carry an X chromosome. Females always give their children an X chromosome.Human males are XY and half their spermatozoa carry an X chromosome and half carry a Y chromosome. Depending on the sex chromosome in its biological father's spermatozoon, a child receives an X or a Y chromosome from its biological father.If a child receives an X chromosome from its father she will be XX and a girl. If a child receives a Y chromosome from its father he will be XY and a boy.

The Y chromosome is the male sex chromosome, but males also carry a X chromosome from their mother. XY. The female sex chromosome is the Y chromosome; YY is female. ( generally, as sex chromosome number in both sexes can vary )
the X chromosome
50%
Zero %; as in No Such exists. Meiotic Cells [Eggs and Sperm] each contain a single chromosome (n).
the y chromosome doesn't carry any genetic information
Fragile X syndrome is caused by a mutation that prevents the Fragile X mental retardation (Fmr-1) gene from being transcribed. This gene is located on the X chromosome (the sex chromosome). Since males only carry one of these chromosomes, they are twice as likely to be affected by the mutation than females.
