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).

Explain how the sex chromosomes determine the sex of the offspring?
The sex chromosomes inherited from the parents determine the sex of the offspring. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of a Y chromosome results in the development of male characteristics, while the absence of a Y chromosome leads to the development of female characteristics.
How does the chromosome content of a parent cell compare with that of a gamete?
A parent cell is diploid, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes. In contrast, a gamete is haploid, containing only one set of chromosomes. This difference in chromosome content is important for maintaining the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring when the gametes combine during fertilization.
Which gamete has the chromosome that determines a person's sex?
The sperm gamete carries either an X or a Y chromosome, which determines the sex of the offspring. If the sperm carries an X chromosome, the offspring will be female, while if it carries a Y chromosome, the offspring will be male.
Which gamete determines the gender of the young?
In humans females are homogametic and males are heterogametic. It is the male biological parent who contributes the sex chromosome that determines the sex of any child.Human females are XX and all their ova carry an X chromosome. Females always give their children an X chromosome.Human males are XY and half their spermatozoa carry an X chromosome and half carry a Y chromosome. Depending on the sex chromosome in its biological father's spermatozoon, a child receives an X or a Y chromosome from its biological father.If a child receives an X chromosome from its father she will be XX and a girl. If a child receives a Y chromosome from its father he will be XY and a boy.
How many chromosomes does each parent sex cell give to their offspring?
Each parent sex cell gives 23 chromosomes to their offspring in humans
Which type of chromosome does the male parent give to it offspring?
either an x or y chromosome-michael clark

Whose chromosomes determine the sex of offspring in humans?
The males chromosomes determine the gender of the baby. Women have an XX chromosome and men have an XY chromosome. So women can only give an X chromosome, but men can give either/or.The chromosomes of the father make the final determination; the child either gets a X from the mother and either an X from the father which makes a girl, or an X from the mother and a Y from the father, which makes a boy.Jamiana:The Father's(it's Y though)
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.
The sex of offspring is determined by the chromosome the female parent gives it?
hello, i add, meta-logically, may the single plate of DNA or genome which carry the symbol X be female, and the single plate of DNA or genome which carry the symbol Y be male, thus may the female child came from the female mother. thus the single plate of chromosome specify gender type but not the chromosome pair specify the gender type.
Can parent with as and AA genotype give birth to ac genotype?
No, a parent with AS and AA genotype cannot give birth to a child with AC genotype. The parent can only pass on either the A allele or the S allele to their child, resulting in genotypes of either AA or AS.

What does every parent give off to their offspring?
Genes and chromosomes.

Each parent sex cell gives 23 chromosomes to their offspring in humans
What sex chromosome does a girl obtain from her father?
Both parents will give a girl an X chromosome. The father will give a Y and the mother will give an X to a boy.
