Is there an X or Y chromosome in an egg?
An egg will have the X chromosome and the sperm will have an X or Y chromosome.
Why does the sperm determine the sex of the offspring not the egg?
The sex of offspring is determined by the sperm because sperm carries either an X or Y chromosome, while eggs always carry an X chromosome. If a sperm carrying an X chromosome fertilizes the egg, it results in a female offspring (XX), while a sperm carrying a Y chromosome leads to a male offspring (XY).
What type of cervical mucus moves the x chromosome faster than the y chromosome?
The type of cervical mucus that can facilitate the faster movement of the X chromosome compared to the Y chromosome is typically more alkaline and abundant, often observed around ovulation. This fertile cervical mucus provides a more favorable environment for X-bearing sperm, which are believed to be more resilient and survive longer than Y-bearing sperm. The consistency of this mucus allows for easier passage of X sperm, potentially increasing the likelihood of conceiving a female child.
What percent of sperm carry the X-X chromosome pair?
Zero %; as in No Such exists. Meiotic Cells [Eggs and Sperm] each contain a single chromosome (n).
Which gamete determines the gender of the offspring in homosapians?
The sperm gamete determines the gender of the offspring in humans. Sperm carries either an X or a Y sex chromosome, while the egg always contains an X chromosome. If a sperm with an X chromosome fertilizes the egg, the offspring will be female (XX). If a sperm with a Y chromosome fertilizes the egg, the offspring will be male (XY).
How long do girl sperm survive compared to boy sperm?
Girl sperm, or X-bearing sperm, tend to survive longer than boy sperm, or Y-bearing sperm, in the female reproductive tract. This is because X-bearing sperm are larger and more resilient, allowing them to live longer and have a higher chance of fertilizing an egg.
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.
What makes sperm move?
The tail of the sperm whips and forces the sperm forward. Y sperm are smaller, lighter and faster, X sperm are larger, heavier and slower but can keep going for longer. Y sperm are sprinters, X sperm are long distance runners.
Do female sperm live longer than male sperm?
This depends upon the environment. If the male ejaculates into the air, articles of clothing, etc the sperm will die pretty soon. If the male ejaculates into a female, it can last up to three days, sometimes longer but not usually. This is because a warm and moist place is a prime survival environment for sperm.
Is it possible for a human sperm to live longer than 7days?
yes
What is the gland that has an alkaline fluid that helps sperm live longer?

Do female sperm have a longer lifespan compared to male sperm?
