How are a fetus sex and inherited traits determined?
A fetus's sex is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents: typically, a female has two X chromosomes (XX), while a male has one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The sperm from the father carries either an X or a Y chromosome, which, when combined with the X chromosome from the mother, determines the sex of the fetus. Inherited traits are determined by genes, which are segments of DNA located on chromosomes. Each parent contributes one allele for each gene, influencing the offspring's traits based on dominant and recessive inheritance patterns.
Explaine the sex of an infant is genetically determined at conception.?
Male sex is tied directly to the Y sex chromosome. The Y chromosome codes for the proteins and enzymes that cause the changes that makes one phenotypically male. Any fetus without a Y chromosome will be genotypically and phenotypically female, only by lack of those proteins and enzymes mentioned before. Given that one sex chromosome comes from the ovum and one comes from the sperm, which fuse at conception, the genotypic and phenotypic sex of the fetus is determined at the time of conceptual fusion of the spermatozoa and ovum.

How can a fetus be made a girl?
a baby will be either a boy or a girl long before it becomes a fetus. A woman's egg carries an X chromosome (women are XX).
