No. If it is a mother, that infers that the organism is female. The feature that determines gender is the 23rd set of chromosomes. A female can only result if the pair is XX (XY results in a male). Therefore, a mother cannot pass on a Y chromosome to her child.

If you are wondering whether by cause of a genetic mutation the mother happens to have a Y chromosome, then she would not be a mother, as she would be infertile.

What chromosome has to be present for a mother to have a male child?

A mother needs to contribute an X chromosome to her child for them to be male. The father contributes a Y chromosome, resulting in an XY chromosome pair which determines a male child.


What happinds of a child receives an X chromosome from its mother and a Y chromosome from its father .?

The child is a biological male.


Which sex chromosome does a father pass on to a son?

A father passes on his Y chromosome to his son. In humans, males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). Therefore, the son inherits the Y chromosome from his father and an X chromosome from his mother, resulting in a male (XY) offspring.


A child will be a girl if she receives what chromosomes from father and what chromosomes from mother?

A child's sex is actually determined entirely by his or her father. All eggs in a woman's body contain and X chromosome, whereas sperm cells contain either X or Y. The female sex chromosomes are XX and the male sex chromosomes are XY. Thus, if the sperm that fertilizes the egg contains an X chromosome, the child will be a girl. If the sperm contains a Y chromosome, the child will be a boy.


What chromosomes make a boy or a girl?

It is because males produce sperm cells with the X chromosome and sperm cells with the Y chromosome. If a sperm cell with a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, then that child would be a boy, as the Y chromosome produces male offspring. If a sperm cell with a X chromosome fertilizes an egg, then the child would be a girl, as X is the female chromosome. The mother always passes on a X chromosome, but the father can pass on an X or a Y and thus determine the sex of the baby.

Who do Men pass their X chromosomes to?

Men pass their X chromosomes to their daughters. Men have both X and Y chromosomes. If they were to give their offspring an Y chromosome, it would have to be a male. If they gave their offsping an X chromosome it would have to be female. XX is female, XY is male.


Does the father determine the gender of the child"?

No, the father's sperm carries either an X or Y chromosome, but it is the mother's egg that ultimately determines the gender of the child. If the egg is fertilized by a sperm with an X chromosome, the child will be female, and if it is fertilized by a sperm with a Y chromosome, the child will be male.


What gamete determines the sex of a child?

The sperm from the father can supply either an X-bearing or a Y-bearing chromosome. The egg from the mother can only supply an X-bearing chromosome. An XY combination produces a boy baby. An XX combination produces a girl baby. It might seem that the father therefore determines the sex of the baby, but some recent evidence suggests that the mother can select either an X-bearing or a Y-bearing sperm. See the Wikipedia article on "Maternal influence on sex determination."

How does the father determine the gender of a child?

The father determines the gender of a child through the contribution of his sperm during fertilization. Sperm carries either an X or Y chromosome, which combines with the mother's X chromosome to determine the baby's gender. If the sperm carries an X chromosome, the baby will be female, and if it carries a Y chromosome, the baby will be male.


What chromosomes make a boy or a girl?

It is because males produce sperm cells with the X chromosome and sperm cells with the Y chromosome. If a sperm cell with a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, then that child would be a boy, as the Y chromosome produces male offspring. If a sperm cell with a X chromosome fertilizes an egg, then the child would be a girl, as X is the female chromosome. The mother always passes on a X chromosome, but the father can pass on an X or a Y and thus determine the sex of the baby.


Explain how the type of chromosome results in some children being male and others being female?

A child's gender is dependent on which chromosome (X or Y) is received from the father. The mother has the chromosomes XX and the father has XY. Each parent randomly gives the child one of their respective chromosomes (through meiosis). The mother gives one of her two X chromosomes and the father gives either the X or the Y. If the father gives a copy of his X chromosome, the baby is a girl. If the father gives his Y chromosome, the baby is a boy.


Which parents gamete normally determines the sex of the child?

The father's gamete determines the sex of the child. Specifically, the presence or absence of a Y chromosome in the father's sperm will determine if the child will be male (Y chromosome present) or female (no Y chromosome).
