What kind of chromosomes do females transmit to offspring?
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.
What are things that determine the sex of offspring called?
Chromosomes. XX=female XY=male
What is carried from parent to offspring on chromosomes?
Chromosomes carry genes from parent to offspring. A gene is a section of DNA which carries coding for particular protein.
How do offspring get their traits?
Both parents contribute DNA to the offspring, and that is found in the package of an egg(female) or sperm(male).

Is the sex of the offspring is determined by the female parents chromosomes?
No. it is determined by the male parent's chromosomes.
What is the probability of a male offspring?
you have a 50/50 chance of producing both a male and female offspring, it really depends on whether or not your offspring's DNA will have XY chromosomes (male) or XX chromosomes (female)

How is the equal genetic contribution of male and female parents ensured in the progeny?
Human cells have 46 chromosomes, except gametes (eggs and sperm), which have 23. A human offspring has 23 chromosomes from the father and 23 from the mother.

How are traits of parents passed to off-springs?
They are passed on by male or female chromosomes.
Is the sex of the offspring of a cow determined by the egg or sperm?
The sex of the offspring is always determined by the sperm: this is the same in pretty well all animal life, including human reproduction. The gamete in a cow always carries the X chromosome. The gametes in a bull carry both X and Y chromosomes, which mean that if the sperm with an X chromosome fuses with the gamete of the cow, the offspring will be female. If the sperm carries a Y chromosome and fuses to the female gamete of the cow, then the offspring will be male.
What determines the sex of an organism-?
The sex chromosomes determine the sex of an organism. In humans, it is the 23 pair. Females pass on either or their X chromosomes, while males pass on either their X or their Y. If the male passes on their X chromosome, the resulting offspring is female. If they pass on their Y chromosome, the resulting offspring is male.

The sex of offspring is determined by the chromosome the female parent gives it?
hello, i add, meta-logically, may the single plate of DNA or genome which carry the symbol X be female, and the single plate of DNA or genome which carry the symbol Y be male, thus may the female child came from the female mother. thus the single plate of chromosome specify gender type but not the chromosome pair specify the gender type.
What do X and Y chromosomes affect?
X and Y chromosoms determine whether or not an offspring is a male or female. Chromosomes come in pairs. Boys have an X and a Y chromosome pair; girls have an X and an X chromosome pair.
