Which chromosomes from the sperm is necessary to produce a male?
x chromosome...!
Which kind of chromosomes are necessary to produce a female?
There are two types of chromosome, called X and Y. Semen contains X sperm and Y sperm. If the Y sperm fertilises the female ovum, the child will be male. If the X sperm fertilises the female ovum, the child will be female. A man's chromosomes will be XY and a woman's chromosomes will be XX. The man's sperm always determines the gender of the baby.
A sperm carrying a Y chromosome can produce a?
Male zygote if it fertilizes the female sex cell, ovum
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.
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.
What determines if a pregnant women has a male or female?
The sperm can have either X or Y sex chromosome. If the sperm with X chromosome fertilize the ovum, you get female baby. If the sperm with Y chromosome fertilize the ovum, you get male baby. Ovum always has got X chromosome in it.
What type of sperm must fertile as egg to result in a female child?
The sperm must have an X chromosome as opposed to a Y chromosome.
What TYPE of a sperm must fertilize an egg to result a female child?
X Chromosome results in a female Y Chromosome results in a male All sperm are either going to be an X or Y chromosome All eggs are X chromosome only
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 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.
At what age for a female do you produce sperm?
females do not produce sperm
Are children born male or female or is it decided at a later time as suggested by the gender schema?
It is actually decided at a earlier time, at conception. It depends on the chromosome in the sperm. If the sperm contains a X chromosome it will be female(all eggs contain an X chromosome) and if it contains a Y chromosome it will be male.
