What else can I help you with?
What do you call it when the sperm provides a Y chromosome and the egg provides an X chromosome?
a girl
What will be the sex of the offspring if a sperm carring X-chromosome fertilises the egg?
The offspring would be a girl.
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 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!
What do you call it when the sperm provides a Y chromosome and the egg provides an X chromosome?
a girl
Do boy or girl sperm live longer in the female reproductive system?
Boy sperm, or sperm carrying a Y chromosome, tend to swim faster but have a shorter lifespan than girl sperm, or sperm carrying an X chromosome, in the female reproductive system.
How baby's sex is determined?
The babies sex is determined by the sperm. The egg has XX chromosome and each sperm cell is either a XX or XY chromosome. So which ever sperm cell reaches the egg and implants determines the sex. If the sperm was an XX chromosome the baby would be a girl, if the sperm was XY chromosome the baby will be a boy. Hope this helps!
Are you more likely to have a boy if the father's family are all boys?
It is the sperm that fertilizes the egg that will determine the sex of your baby. Some sperm carry the X-chromosome and some sperm carry the Y-chromosome. If an X-chromosome-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a girl. If a Y-chromosome-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a boy.
Does a girl sperm?
No, sperm carries either an X or Y chromosome, determining the sex of the offspring. It is the sperm carrying the Y chromosome that will result in a male offspring, while the sperm carrying the X chromosome will result in a female offspring.
Is it the guy's sperm that makes the gender of a baby?
Yes. Sperm carry either an X or a Y chromosome. The eggs from a female's ovaries is always X. If the sperm has an X chromosome, the baby will be female. If the sperm has a Y chromosome, the baby will be male.
How is a baby sexs determine?
It's determined by the genetic chromosome of the sperm. Women have only one X chromosome in the egg (both egg and sperm have 23 pairs of chromosomes, which unite to form 46). On the other hand, men have either X or Y chromosomes. If an egg (X chromosome) joins with an X chromosome sperm, the result will be a girl. If an egg (X chromosome) joins with a Y chromosome sperm, the result will be a boy. In other words: the guy determines the sex of a baby :)
What will be the sex of the offspring if a sperm carring X-chromosome fertilises the egg?
The offspring would be a girl.

Which sex cell controls the sex of a baby?
I will explain, but I don't know why you put this in cat behavior. The X chromosome and Y chromosome control gender. If an embryo's two chromosomes are XX, it will be a girl. If the chromosomes are XY, it will be male. A pair of chromosomes have to have at least one X chromosome in it, but can also have a Y chromosome.
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.
What sex chromosome is found in human egg cell?
By human egg cell I guess you mean the oocyte (the one produced by the mother). The oocyte always carries the X chromosome, the sperm can either carry the Y or the X chromosome. Interestingly, the sperm which carries the Y is actually quicker than the one carrying the X, maybe because the X chromosome is far larger. So, if the Y chromosome sperm reaches the egg first, the child will be a boy (XY), and if the X chromosome sperm beats him to it, the child will be a girl (XX).
