What does variation result from sperm and egg?
Variation results from the combination of genetic material from the sperm and egg during fertilization. Each sperm and egg carries a unique set of genes, leading to genetic diversity in the offspring. This genetic variation is important for evolution and adaptation in a population.
How many genetically different types of sperm cells will result with genes A and B on one chromosome and a and b on the homologous chromosome?
There will be four different genetically different types of sperm cells as a result of the combination of genes A and B on one chromosome and a and b on the homologous chromosome: AB, Ab, aB, and ab.
Why 2 children have the same parents dont have the same chromosomes and genes?
There are millions of possibilities for combinations of the two parents' genes. They don't combine the same way each time. People carry recessive genes for traits they don't show, so each egg or sperm has its own unique combination of genes.
What is on the Y chromosome that may provide instructions for sperm production?
The much smaller Y chromosome has only about 26 genes and gene families. Most of the Y chromosome genes are involved with essential cell house-keeping activities (16 genes) and sperm production (9 gene families). Only one of the Y chromosome genes, the SRY gene, is responsible for male anatomical traits.When any of the 9 genes involved in sperm production are missing or defective the result is usually very low sperm counts and subsequent infertility. About 1/3 of couples is unable to have children as a consequence of the male mate not having the necessary sperm producing genes on his Y chromosome. The Y chromosome has few active genes and mostly contains genetic junk rather than genes.
Does it mean that a child would inherit more from the mother than from the father because the egg is bigger than the sperm?
No. They will each get the same genes that make a human a human except for the sex genes. The egg carries its' set of genes and all of the organelles including the mitochondria. The sperm carries only its' set of genes.
Event leading to combination of ovum and sperm genes?
Fertilization

when sperm donating, do they look for genes like being tall or handsome looking ?
No, they do not check genes of those nature when donating sperm.
What carries genes tha determine whether a person is a male or female sperm?
The answer is sperm

What contains genes from both parents?
ovam and sperm
What does a male sperm contain?
It contains half your genes
What is a sperm cell main function?
sperm main function is to carry the male genes to the egg
Does each egg and sperm contain different collection of genes?
Yes, each egg and sperm contains a unique combination of genes due to the process of genetic recombination during meiosis. This genetic variation is important for diversity in offspring and is one of the reasons why siblings can be different from each other.
Are sperm and egg cells in humans Have either all dominant or all recessive versions of genes?
The sperm and egg sex cells (or gametes) have both recessive and dominant genes in them.
How much of parents genes does an egg or sperm cell have?
half
Is an altered gene is sperm is inheritable?
Genes are conveyed through the sperm and egg, so if that sperm unites with the egg the alteration will be inherited by the child.
