Question

has drastically declined as indicated by “too many puppy–dogs’ –tails. The matter of

concern is that their number is steadily shrinking. Taking inputs from your Unit–2,

‘Education’ and the visuals, given below, write a letter to the Editor of a national daily e
xpressing your worry on the skewing sex ratio in the nation​

Answer 1

Answer:

The sex of the child is determined by the type of gamete he receives from the father as father contains two different types of gametes X and Y while mother contains only one type of gamete i.e. X. When male X combines with female X, a male child is borne and when male Y combines with female X, a female child is born. Thus females are never responsible for determination of the sex of a child. So, women should not be ill-treated for giving birth to a girl child, as both males and females are equally important for the balance of nature and continuity of our species.
