The sperm gamete determines the gender of the offspring in humans. Sperm carries either an X or a Y sex chromosome, while the egg always contains an X chromosome. If a sperm with an X chromosome fertilizes the egg, the offspring will be female (XX). If a sperm with a Y chromosome fertilizes the egg, the offspring will be male (XY).
