Question

determination of sex of baby . explain briefly ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In humans’ the sex of the baby is determined by the sperm. The sperm gamete is heterogamatic because approximately half of them contain the X chromosome which will result in a girl and approximately half of them contain the Y chromosome which will result in a boy. On the other hand the ova gamete is homogametic, in other words all its cells possess the X chromosome. Thus the ova gamete does not influence the baby’s sex. Therefore when a sperm penetrates the ova and fertilization occurs there are two possible outcomes: XX or a girl and XY or a boy.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chromosomal sex is determined at the time of fertilization; a chromosome from the sperm cell, either X or Y, fuses with the X chromosome in the egg cell. Gonadal sex refers to the gonads, that is the testis or ovaries, depending on which genes are expressed.
