In the case of man the meiosis is otherwise known as spermatogenesis, as a result of which 4 haploid sperms are formed. The sperms differ from the other somatic cells not only in the no. of chromosomes but cytoplasm is also very much reduced. they have acrosomes, tail etc. After reduction division modification of the sperm cells occur which is otherwise known as spermiogenesis. In male the spermatogenesis occur after puberty but then onwards continuous.

In the case of females it is known as oogenesis, as result they will be giving rise to only one ovary.(during the first and second meiotic division cell division is anisogamy and give unequal daughter cells in which the smaller ones released as polar bodies.) The ovary is rich in cytoplasm and have haploid no of chromosomes. In the case of human the first meiotic division of all possible primary oocyte takes place in the embryonic stage and second stage occur after puberty periodically one in a month

Who is responsible for sex determination in humans the male or the female parent?

The sex determination in humans is determined by the male parent through the presence of the X or Y chromosome in the sperm. The female parent always contributes an X chromosome. If the sperm carries an X chromosome, the resulting offspring will be female (XX), and if it carries a Y chromosome, the offspring will be male (XY).


What sex chromosome does a male have?

The male sex chromosome is XY, and females are XX. The X comes from the female, and an X or a Y from the male. When they meet, that determines whether the baby will be a boy or a girl.


What determines whether an embryo will become male or female?

The sex of an embryo is determined by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome. If the embryo has a Y chromosome, it will develop as male. If no Y chromosome is present, the embryo will develop as female.


What is the agent that causes male genitals to differ from female genitals prior to birth?

The presence or absence of the Y chromosome is the key factor that determines whether a fetus will develop male or female genitals. The Y chromosome triggers the production of testosterone in male fetuses, leading to the development of male genitalia. In the absence of the Y chromosome, female genitalia develop by default.


Is the sex offspring is determined by the chromosome the female parent gives?

Yes, the sex of the offspring is determined by the chromosomes contributed by the parents. The female parent always gives an X chromosome, while the male parent can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome, determining whether the offspring will be male (XY) or female (XX).

What is the gender when X-chromosome combine with Y-chromosome?

XY = Male XX = Female


Which type of chromosome does the female parent give to it's offspring?

The female parent contributes an X chromosome to its offspring. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), so they can only pass on an X chromosome. If the offspring receives an X chromosome from the male parent (who can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome), the offspring will be female (XX); if the offspring receives a Y chromosome from the male, it will be male (XY).


What kind of chromosomes do females transmit to offspring?

Female transmit 23 chromosomes to the offspring. She has that unique chromosome called as X chromosome. This is transmitted to the offspring. From male you get either X or Y chromosome. From XX chromosome you get female child. From XY chromosome you get male child.


How can you identify the difference of a female chromosome and a male chromosome?

What differentiates a male from a female based off the chromosomes that are present is that a male organism will have X and Y chromosomes whereas a female organism will have X and X chromosomes.


In genetics what is the female sex chromosomes?

X chromosome


Which pair of chromosomes produces a male off-springs?

It depends which species you are. There is the XY system (which mammals use) where it is the presence of the Y chromosome that induces male development. The Y chromosome contains genes like Sry that initiate the male developmental program. Male mammals have an X and a Y chromosome, female mammals have two X chromosomes. However, for other species, like birds, use the so-called ZW sex chromosome system where it is actually the absence of the W chromosome that permits male development - male birds have two Z chromosomes and female birds have a W and a Z chromosome. And then there's the X0 system, which many insects use, where two copies of an X chromosome results in a female but a single copy of an X chromosome results in a male.


Is an x chromosome and chromosome the same thing?

An x chromosome is specifically a feminine chromosome. With a x and y chromosome its male, with a x and x, it is a female.
