No, men have an X and a Y, while women have two X's.
{They don't usually, but...
'There is a whole lot more to maleness and femaleness than X or Y chromosomes. About 1 in 20,000 men has no Y chromosome, instead having 2 Xs. This means that in the United States there are about 7,500 men without a Y chromosome. The equivalent situation - females who have XY instead of XX chromosomes - can occur for a variety of reasons and overall is similar in frequency'.}

What sex chromosome does a human egg cell contain?
The sex chromosome typically carried by an ovum is X-chromosome. The sperm may carry either x or y sex chromosome.
Is there an X or Y chromosome in an egg?
An egg will have the X chromosome and the sperm will have an X or Y chromosome.
What kind of chromosome do females transmit of offspring?
Female transmit 23 chromosomes to the offspring. She has that unique chromosome called as X chromosome. This is transmitted to the offspring. From male you get either X or Y chromosome. From XX chromosome you get female child. From XY chromosome you get male child.
What do you call it when the sperm provides a Y chromosome and the egg provides an X chromosome?
a girl
Why can egg cells from a horse only contain an x chromosomes?
Females only contain X in their sex chromosomes. That s why females have XX and males XY. When females form gametes, they only can form them with a X chromosome. This however have some exceptions, for example, chicken females are XY whereas males are the one with XX.
Is there an X or Y chromosome in an egg?
An egg will have the X chromosome and the sperm will have an X or Y chromosome.
What sex chromosome does a human egg cell contain?
The sex chromosome typically carried by an ovum is X-chromosome. The sperm may carry either x or y sex chromosome.
Why can't a female inherit a gene found on the y chromosome?
Females do not have a Y chromosome, so they cannot inherit genes found on it. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and females inherit two X chromosomes, one from each parent. Therefore, any gene found on the Y chromosome is not present in females.
If an egg is fertilized by a sprem containing a y chromosome the fertilized egg?
If an egg is fertilized by a sperm containing a Y chromosome, the resulting fertilized egg will develop into a male organism. This is because the presence of the Y chromosome determines the development of male characteristics.
What kind of chromosome do females transmit of offspring?
Female transmit 23 chromosomes to the offspring. She has that unique chromosome called as X chromosome. This is transmitted to the offspring. From male you get either X or Y chromosome. From XX chromosome you get female child. From XY chromosome you get male child.
How do you become a boy or girl?
Sex is determined by a pair of sex chromosomes. Males have XY chromosomes and females have XX chromosomes. In the fertilization stage where the sperm combines with the egg, the sex of the offspring depends on whether the sperm carries a X or Y chromosome. The ovum always carries a X chromosome because females only have X chromosomes. So, if the sperm carries the X chromosome, the offspring will have XX chromosome and becomes a girl. If it carries the Y, the baby becomes a boy. X (sperm) + X (egg) = XX (female) Y (sperm) + X (egg) = XY (male)
What do you call it when the sperm provides a Y chromosome and the egg provides an X chromosome?

Why can egg cells from a horse only contain an x chromosomes?
Females only contain X in their sex chromosomes. That s why females have XX and males XY. When females form gametes, they only can form them with a X chromosome. This however have some exceptions, for example, chicken females are XY whereas males are the one with XX.
Who has y chromosomes?
In humans, males have one Y chromosome and one x chromosome in addition to 44 other chromosomes, females have two Xs. Because of errors in gamete (egg or sperm) production, some humans have XYY, XXY, or some other combination of sex chromosomes.
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.
What is the chromosome that represents the sex chromosome?
The sex chromosomes are represented by X and Y chromosomes. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of the Y chromosome determines male physical characteristics.
What chromosome do males have that females don't?
Males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). The Y chromosome is responsible for determining male sex characteristics and contains genes crucial for male development. This chromosomal difference leads to the biological distinctions between males and females.
