In humans, the male determines the sex of the fetus. The mother has 2 X chromosomes and each egg she produces just has an X. Males have both X and Y so they can have a sperm with X and a sperm with Y. A female fetus has XX, one from mom and one from dad. A male fetus has one X from mom and a Y from dad.

Whose chromosomes determine the sex of offspring in humans?

The 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.Jamiana:The Father's(it's Y though)


In cattle black coat is dominant to white coat color a farmer has a black male of undetermined genotype how can the farmer determine the genotype of the male?

One way to determine the male's genotype would be to breed him to females with a known genotype of Black-Black. If any resultant calves were born with a white coat, you would then know that the male were Black-White. If calves were consistently black coated, you could be fairly certain he was also of the Black-Black genotype.


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).


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).

Why did you only have to flip the male coin to determine the sex of your smiley face?

To determine the sex of the smiley face, flipping the male coin is sufficient because it serves as a binary indicator for gender, with one side representing male and the other side representing female. By only flipping the male coin, the outcome directly reveals whether the smiley face is male or not, as the female representation is inherently implied. This simplifies the decision-making process, eliminating the need for additional flips.

What is the diffence between proven and unproven alpaca?

"Proven" refers to whether or not a male alpaca has sired offspring that carry his desireable genetic traits. An unproven alpaca, therefore, is a male that has either not been bred or does not have enough offspring old enough to determine if he will pass on the desired traits. A proven alpaca is a male that has sired offspring that carry his desired traits, which makes him more valuable as a breeding animal.
