The sex of a human is determined by the presence of sex chromosomes. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents at conception determines the biological sex of the individual.
The sex of an individual in humans is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes they inherit from their parents. Typically, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY).
The sex of offspring in humans is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents. Females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). This is important in the process of reproduction because it determines the biological characteristics and reproductive capabilities of the offspring.
The sperm from the father can supply either an X-bearing or a Y-bearing chromosome. The egg from the mother can only supply an X-bearing chromosome. An XY combination produces a boy baby. An XX combination produces a girl baby. It might seem that the father therefore determines the sex of the baby, but some recent evidence suggests that the mother can select either an X-bearing or a Y-bearing sperm. See the Wikipedia article on "Maternal influence on sex determination."
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.
In humans, which sex chromosome determines if an offspring is a male or female?
The sex chromosomes...XX for a female, XY for a male, with some other relatively rare variations.
I believe the father of the baby determines the sex of the baby.
For humans x or y chromosome from father
Normal male humans have the sex chromosomes XY. The presence of the Y chromosome determines sex in humans - so a person with XXY will be male.
In humans it is the Male.
The chromosome in the male's gamete determines the gender of the baby. If it is a Y chromosome, the baby will be a boy. If the chromosome is a X, the baby will be a girl.
Yes, the male determines the sex of a baby. He possesses the either X or Y chromosome. The X is a girl I believe & the Y is a boy, I'm pretty sure that that's what they stand for. I'm positive that the male determines the sex of a baby though.
No, it is the sperm that determines the sex of the baby. Sperm carry either an X or a Y chromosome, and when one of them fertilizes the egg, the resulting combination will determine the baby's sex (XX for female, XY for male).
NO
The sex of a human is determined by the presence of sex chromosomes. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents at conception determines the biological sex of the individual.
the answer is sex chromosomes
