In humans, it is the father's chromosomes that determine the sex of offspring. The father contributes either an X or a Y chromosome, while the mother always contributes an X chromosome. If the combination is XX, the offspring is female, and if it's XY, the offspring is male.

∙ 7y agoThe males chromosomes determine the gender of the baby. Women have an XX chromosome and men have an XY chromosome. So women can only give an X chromosome, but men can give either/or.
The chromosomes of the father make the final determination; the child either gets a X from the mother and either an X from the father which makes a girl, or an X from the mother and a Y from the father, which makes a boy.

How many pairs of autosomes does the human male liver have?
Typically, 22 pairs or 44 chromosomes in humans. The number doesn't change between males and females whose only difference are the other 2 of the 46 total chromosomes, the aptly named sex chromosomes. So really the factor that decides how many autosomal chromosomes the organism has is what kind of organism it is (human? dog? cat? orangutan? moon jellyfish??)
What difference would you see in a population made up of individuals whose chromosomes experience crossing over frequently compared with the population made up of individuals whose chromosomes don't?
genetic variation = crossing over. you get the chance to mix genes. it would be cloning if they didn't cross over. meiosis - crossing over mitosis - cloning
What is the difference between primary and secondary nondisjunction?
primary can happen in meiosis and as a result produces gametes with more than or less than the original number of chromosomes. secondary occur in an individual whose chromosomes already has the wrong number because of non disjunction.
What is the name of the structures whose movements are studied in mitosis and meiosis?
Micro-tubules play active role in chromosome movement during cell division.
What can you infer about a cell whose chromosomes are not visible?
The chromosomes are not visible.
