The male gamete is comprised, on average, of 50% of the X chromosome and 50% of the Y chromosome.

Wiki User
∙ 8y agoAll human eggs carry an X chromosome. The female genotype is XX, so there are only X chromosomes to put into the eggs.

What sex chromosome does a human egg cell contain?
The sex chromosome typically carried by an ovum is X-chromosome. The sperm may carry either x or y sex chromosome.
A human sperm contains chromosome?
A fully operational human sperm contains 23 chromosomes.
What percent of sperm carry the X-X chromosome pair?
Zero %; as in No Such exists. Meiotic Cells [Eggs and Sperm] each contain a single chromosome (n).
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.
What determines the sex of a human?
Whether they have 2 X chromosomes= girl, of one X chromosome and one Y chromosome= boy
What is the probabitily that a human sperm cell will carry an x chromosome?
50%
Why is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome a sperm?
Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.
What sex chromosome does a human egg cell contain?
The sex chromosome typically carried by an ovum is X-chromosome. The sperm may carry either x or y sex chromosome.
What is the probability that a human sperm cell Will carry a X chromosome?
The answer will vary from person to person. It will depend on the individual as well as his age.
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).
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.
A human sperm contains chromosome?
A fully operational human sperm contains 23 chromosomes.
What percentage of human sperm Cells carry an X chromosome?
50 % of human sperm Cells are an X chromosome, the other half are a Y chromosome: {diploid = 2n = 1 chromosome pair; haploid = n = 1 chromosome - including the meiotic single chromosome = n}. All sperm and egg Cells carry one set each of n (23 single) chromosomes. When a sperm and an egg combine either: a) a sperm Cell with the X chromosome merges with the [X-chromosome] egg Cell and the baby will be a girl; or b) a sperm Cell with the Y chromosome merges with the egg Cell and the baby will be a boy.
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.
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.
What percent of sperm carry the X-X chromosome pair?
Zero %; as in No Such exists. Meiotic Cells [Eggs and Sperm] each contain a single chromosome (n).
