Best Answer

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.

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.
