Why is human male called heterogametic?

Human males are referred to as heterogametic because they possess two different types of sex chromosomes: one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY). In contrast, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and are termed homogametic. The presence of both X and Y chromosomes in males leads to the production of two distinct types of sperm, one carrying the X chromosome and the other carrying the Y chromosome, which determines the sex of the offspring. This distinction in chromosome composition is what defines males as heterogametic.


Who determines the gender of the offspring male or female?

The gender of the offspring is determined by the male parent, specifically through the sperm. Human males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. When a sperm carrying an X chromosome fertilizes an egg, the resulting offspring is female (XX), and when a sperm carrying a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, the offspring is male (XY). Thus, it is the combination of the sperm's chromosome that ultimately determines the gender.


How many sex chromosomes in a human gamete?

A human gamete typically contains one sex chromosome. In males, the gamete (sperm) carries either an X or a Y chromosome, while in females, the gamete (egg) always carries an X chromosome. During fertilization, when the gametes combine, the resulting zygote will have two sex chromosomes, determining the genetic sex of the individual.


Why is homphilia more common in males then females?

It is an X-linked genetic disorder. Since males are XY and females are XX, it is a higher possibility that either parent is carrying the hemophilia allele which affects the X in either male / female or both.
