Because males carry both the X and Y chromosomes in their sperm, they are the deciding factor when it comes to the sex of the baby. Unlike females who only carry the X chromosome.
The father's gamete determines the sex of the child. Specifically, the presence or absence of a Y chromosome in the father's sperm will determine if the child will be male (Y chromosome present) or female (no Y chromosome).
The sex chromosomes that determine a child's sex are inherited from the biological parents. The father contributes either an X or a Y chromosome, while the mother always contributes an X chromosome. The combination of these chromosomes determines the child's sex, with XX resulting in a female and XY resulting in a male.
Males determine the sex of a child in humans because they carry both X and Y chromosomes, while females carry two X chromosomes. During fertilization, the sperm from the male can carry either an X or a Y chromosome, determining the sex of the child.
Yes, it is true that a man's sperm cells determine the sex of a child. Sperm carries either an X or a Y chromosome; if the sperm fertilizes an egg with an X chromosome, the child will be female (XX), and if it fertilizes an egg with a Y chromosome, the child will be male (XY). Therefore, it is the combination of the sperm's chromosome and the egg's chromosome that ultimately determines the child's sex.
The chromosome that carries the genes determining the sex of a child as male or female is the X and Y chromosomes. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
The male
There are two kinds of sex chromosome X and Y that result in two different sex types: XX in females and XY in males. A child will always get a X chromosome from their mother, but the sex depends on which chromosome the male gives, which is completely random, you could get the X chromosome making you female or you could get the Y chromosome making you male.
The sex chromosomes for a male are XY. The presence of a Y chromosome determines male biological sex, while the absence of a Y chromosome results in female biological sex.
because the male can either give an X or a Y
male
The Y chromosome is the chromosome that determines male sex. It carries the SRY gene that triggers the development of male characteristics during embryogenesis.
Xy chromosomes= boy xx chromosomes= female
