Answer:
Explanation:
*Sex determination is a process by which sex of a new born
individual can be determined.
*Human beings have one pair of sex chromosomes and 22
pairs of autosomes.
*Sex chromosomes of male is XY .
Sex chromosomes of female is XX
*Females are homogametic (XX) and males are heterogametic
(XY).
*Sex of the child depends on what happens during
fertilization.
*If a sperm carrying X chromosome fertilizes with the egg(X),
the child born will be female.
*If a sperm carrying Y chromosome fertilizes with the egg(X),
the child born will be male.
*Thus, the sperm (male gamete) determines the sex of the
child.
