What determines if a pregnant women has a male or female?

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 :)


When is the baby sex determined?

It is the sperm from the male determines the sex of the child. Half of the sperms contain the Y chromosome and half the sperms contain the X chromosomes. Ovum from the female always contain the X chromosome. When the sperm with Y chromosome fertilize the ovum, the sex of the child becomes male. When the sperm with X chromosome fertilize the ovum the sex of the child becomes female. The females are wrongly blamed for the birth of female child in some countries.


Who makes the sex of the baby?

Explaine the sex of an infant is genetically determined at conception.?

Male sex is tied directly to the Y sex chromosome. The Y chromosome codes for the proteins and enzymes that cause the changes that makes one phenotypically male. Any fetus without a Y chromosome will be genotypically and phenotypically female, only by lack of those proteins and enzymes mentioned before. Given that one sex chromosome comes from the ovum and one comes from the sperm, which fuse at conception, the genotypic and phenotypic sex of the fetus is determined at the time of conceptual fusion of the spermatozoa and ovum.
