In humans, which sex chromosome determines if an offspring is a male or female?
Presence or absence of the Y chromosome
For humans x or y chromosome from father
No, the male determines the sex of a child.
The male has an x and a y sex chromosome. The female has two x sex chromosomes.
The chromosome in the male's gamete determines the gender of the baby. If it is a Y chromosome, the baby will be a boy. If the chromosome is a X, the baby will be a girl.
Sex chromosomes and autosomes are from the same chromosome, The chromosome has 46 chromosomes and 2 of them are sex chromosomes and the rest are called autosomes
The male sex chromosome is XY, and females are XX. The X comes from the female, and an X or a Y from the male. When they meet, that determines whether the baby will be a boy or a girl.
Yes. That chromosome disjunction event is called Kleinfelter's syndrome. PS Sex. Biologists use the word sex.
The generally accepted theory is that males determine the sex because males can donate both an X chromosome or Y chromosome, while females can only donate an X chromosome to their offspring :D Hope this Helped
well a persons sex is determined at conception the thing that determines it is the thirty second chromosome whick is provided by a male it can be an X chromosome or a Y chromosome if it is an X the formula is XX (because the women has an X chromosome) and it is a guy if it is XY
