What are the x and y chromazones?
The Y chromosome is the male sex chromosome, but males also carry a X chromosome from their mother. XY. The female sex chromosome is the Y chromosome; YY is female. ( generally, as sex chromosome number in both sexes can vary )
Does the equation x plus y equals 41 define y as a function of x?
Both. If you look at it like this: y=41-x you say x is independent and y is dependent of x (i.e. y is a function of x) For x=41-y you say y is independent and x is dependent of y (i.e. x is a function of y)
What is Y x plus 5 Y 6?
The answer to Y x plus 5 Y 6 is Y(x+5Y5).One possible solution to y x plus 5 y 6 is Y(x+5Y5).
What is the value of y when the value of x is 3?
It depends on the relationship between x and y.
What is the value of x and y in x plus y equals -7 x-y equals 1?
-6
Is there an X or Y chromosome in an egg?
An egg will have the X chromosome and the sperm will have an X or Y chromosome.
Why is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome a sperm?
Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.
What chromosome is in the left testicle?
Well certainly a Y chromosome. XY is the sex chromosomes of males. In male gametes they would be n. That is some sperm would contain a X chromosome that a male would give to a daughter and other sperm would contain a Y chromosome destined for a son.
Is it the guy's sperm that makes the gender of a baby?
Yes. Sperm carry either an X or a Y chromosome. The eggs from a female's ovaries is always X. If the sperm has an X chromosome, the baby will be female. If the sperm has a Y chromosome, the baby will be male.
Can a man have only x or y chromosomes in his sperm?
Yes, all male have sperm cell contain both a X and Y chromosome and female have only two Y chromosomeI just want to clarify that Sperm Cell contain X "OR" Y chromosome, not X "and" Y.
What determines if a pregnant women has a male or female?
The sperm can have either X or Y sex chromosome. If the sperm with X chromosome fertilize the ovum, you get female baby. If the sperm with Y chromosome fertilize the ovum, you get male baby. Ovum always has got X chromosome in it.
Are children born male or female or is it decided at a later time as suggested by the gender schema?
It is actually decided at a earlier time, at conception. It depends on the chromosome in the sperm. If the sperm contains a X chromosome it will be female(all eggs contain an X chromosome) and if it contains a Y chromosome it will be male.
What are the X and Y chromosomes?
Everybody has 23 pairs of chromosomes, half they get from their mother and half from their father. The 23rd chromosome you have contains the information of what sex you are. If you are a girl you will have a X chromosome from your mother and and X chromosome from you father. If you are a boy it means you will have a X chromosome from your mother and a Y chromosome from your father. When a sperm cell fertilises an egg the sperm will either be carrying the X chromosome from the male or a Y. If the sperm is carrying a X it will pair with the X chromosome from the mother making the baby a girl. If the sperm is carrying a Y chromosome it will pair with the X chromosome from the mother making the baby a boy! This means it is all down to the father whether the baby is a boy or a girl.
What men should eat to increase Y sperm?
Increase Y chromosome sperm? Can't happen, ONE X and ONE Y chromosome in each
What TYPE of a sperm must fertilize an egg to result a female child?
X Chromosome results in a female Y Chromosome results in a male All sperm are either going to be an X or Y chromosome All eggs are X chromosome only
Female sex cells contain a 1 X chromosome b 2 X chromosomes c 1 Y chromosome or d None of these and why?
All human female egg cells contain X chromosomes, each cell only contains one chromosome. The male sperm cells can contain either an X or a Y chromosome (one or the other, not both). That is what determines the sex of the child, two Xs and its a girl, one x and one y and its a boy. -X
How many different kind of sperm?
Two, sperm that has an X chromosome and sperm that has a Y chromosome, all things being normal all sperm have the same chromosome count.
