Is water enough to get rid of and kill sperm if it gets on your hands or do you need something more?

Sperm is very sensitive. Just rubbing your hands together will kill sperm. But washing with soap doesn't help either. Remember though sperm can live 5-7 days inside the other person's body. YOU NEED MORE BECAUSE GERMS SO BUY A BOTTLE OF GERM-X IT KILLS 99.9% OF GERMS WITH OUT WATER SO YOU CAN USE IT ON THE GO AGREE WITH the LATTER

Can a man have only x or y chromosomes in his sperm?

Yes, all male have sperm cell contain both a X and Y chromosome and female have only two Y chromosomeI just want to clarify that Sperm Cell contain X "OR" Y chromosome, not X "and" Y.


What are the X and Y chromosomes?

Everybody has 23 pairs of chromosomes, half they get from their mother and half from their father. The 23rd chromosome you have contains the information of what sex you are. If you are a girl you will have a X chromosome from your mother and and X chromosome from you father. If you are a boy it means you will have a X chromosome from your mother and a Y chromosome from your father. When a sperm cell fertilises an egg the sperm will either be carrying the X chromosome from the male or a Y. If the sperm is carrying a X it will pair with the X chromosome from the mother making the baby a girl. If the sperm is carrying a Y chromosome it will pair with the X chromosome from the mother making the baby a boy! This means it is all down to the father whether the baby is a boy or a girl.


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 :)
