Question

how sex is determined in human being?

Answer 1

on the basis of chromosomes sex can be determined in human being
if the arrangement of chromosomes as 22+XY then the sex is male and if the arrangements of chromosomes as 22+XX then the sex is female.


 

Answer 2

Answer:

Human beings exhibit male heterogamy. In humans, males (XY) produce two different types of gametes, X and Y. The human female (XX) produces only one type of gametes containing X chromosomes. The sex of the baby is determined by the type of male gamete that fuses with the female gamete. If the fertilizing sperm contains X chromosome, then the baby produced will be a girl and if the fertilizing sperm contains Y chromosome, then the baby produced will be a boy. Hence, it is a matter of chance that determines the sex of a baby. There is an equal probability of the fertilizing sperm being an X or Y chromosome. Thus, it is the genetic make up of the sperm that determines the sex of the baby.
