no, it doesn't mean that husband doesn't produce Y- bearing sperms.
All children have 'chromosomes' whether the child is girl or boy. Women have XX, Men have XY. Children inherit one piece from each parent. A baby can only receive an X from their mother because their mother only has X. If the baby gets an X from their father, they will have XX and be a girl. If they inherit their fathers Y, they will have XY and be a boy.since the Y only can come from their father, this method of inheritance relies on the ability of the father to deliver Y genetic material. A man has two types of sperm. Sperm that is predominantly X carrying and sperm that is predominantly Y. There is a gene(s) that control what sort he produces.
It doesn't mean he doesn't have Y bearing sperm. It just means he may be genetically predisposed to X bearing sperm.
It doesn't mean that husband donor produce Y bearing sperms
But what happens is during fertilisation all the sperms surround the ovum n it depends on whether X or Y sperm enters it...it depends here..
