The female parent contributes an X chromosome to its offspring. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), so they can only pass on an X chromosome. If the offspring receives an X chromosome from the male parent (who can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome), the offspring will be female (XX); if the offspring receives a Y chromosome from the male, it will be male (XY).
Y-linked genes are only passed from father to son because the Y chromosome is inherited exclusively in a paternal manner. Since females inherit an X chromosome from each parent, they do not receive a Y chromosome from their father.
In humans the sex of the offspring is determined by which sperm is able to fertilize the ovum. If a sperm containing the X chromosome fertilizes the ovum, a female offspring results. If a sperm containing the Y chromosome fertilizes the ovum, a male offspring results
The two sets of chromosomes that come from the female parent are the two X chromosomes, while the two sets from the male parent are one X and one Y chromosome. This combination determines the genetic sex of the offspring, with XX resulting in a female and XY resulting in a male.
Approximately 50% of human offspring receive a Y chromosome from their father. This results in the development of male offspring with a typical genetic makeup of XY.
The sex determination in humans is determined by the male parent through the presence of the X or Y chromosome in the sperm. The female parent always contributes an X chromosome. If the sperm carries an X chromosome, the resulting offspring will be female (XX), and if it carries a Y chromosome, the offspring will be male (XY).
The female parent contributes an X chromosome to its offspring. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), so they can only pass on an X chromosome. If the offspring receives an X chromosome from the male parent (who can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome), the offspring will be female (XX); if the offspring receives a Y chromosome from the male, it will be male (XY).

Yes, the sex of the offspring is determined by the chromosomes contributed by the parents. The female parent always gives an X chromosome, while the male parent can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome, determining whether the offspring will be male (XY) or female (XX).
Y-linked genes are only passed from father to son because the Y chromosome is inherited exclusively in a paternal manner. Since females inherit an X chromosome from each parent, they do not receive a Y chromosome from their father.
The father carries the Y chromosome which codes for male reproductive organs.
In humans the sex of the offspring is determined by which sperm is able to fertilize the ovum. If a sperm containing the X chromosome fertilizes the ovum, a female offspring results. If a sperm containing the Y chromosome fertilizes the ovum, a male offspring results

Approximately 50% of human offspring receive a Y chromosome from their father. This results in the development of male offspring with a typical genetic makeup of XY.
The sex of an offspring is primarily determined by the combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents. In humans, females typically have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The sperm cell from the male parent can carry either an X or a Y chromosome, which, when combined with the X chromosome from the female parent, determines the sex of the offspring. If the sperm carries an X chromosome, the offspring will be female (XX); if it carries a Y chromosome, the offspring will be male (XY).
It is on the X Chromosome (male have XY chromosome Females have XX Chromosome)
