Which kind of chromosomes are necessary to produce a female?
There are two types of chromosome, called X and Y. Semen contains X sperm and Y sperm. If the Y sperm fertilises the female ovum, the child will be male. If the X sperm fertilises the female ovum, the child will be female. A man's chromosomes will be XY and a woman's chromosomes will be XX. The man's sperm always determines the gender of the baby.
Difference between male and female sperm?
Although only males produce sperm, that does not mean that all sperm is male. There are two types of sperm: male and female. Male sperm carry the 'y' chromosome; female sperm carry the 'x' chromosome. If all sperm where male, then there would be no females born. Thus, the difference between male and female sperm is that male sperm carries the 'y' chromosome and produces male offspring and female sperm carries the 'x' chromosome and produces female offspring.
In order to produce a male offspring an egg must be fertilized by a sperm carrying a?
Y chromosome. When a sperm with a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, the resulting offspring is male. On the other hand, if a sperm with an X chromosome fertilizes the egg, the offspring will be female.

Male zygote if it fertilizes the female sex cell, ovum
Who makes the sex of a baby?
The sex of your baby is tottally dependant upon the male's sperm, each sperm has a specific sex chromosome, either a Y or an X . every egg of a female has only X sex chromosomes. When one sperm conjoins with one egg, the female gives her X chromosome and the male gives the chromosome (either X or Y) belonging to the sperm that made it to the egg first and will determine the sex. XX = Female XY = Male * All the things you hear about eating meat during your pregnancy will produce a boy and fruits will produce a girl are myth!

Yes, it is true that a man's sperm cells determine the sex of a child. Sperm carries either an X or a Y chromosome; if the sperm fertilizes an egg with an X chromosome, the child will be female (XX), and if it fertilizes an egg with a Y chromosome, the child will be male (XY). Therefore, it is the combination of the sperm's chromosome and the egg's chromosome that ultimately determines the child's sex.
