heterozygous
The female parent contributes an X chromosome to its offspring. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), so they can only pass on an X chromosome. If the offspring receives an X chromosome from the male parent (who can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome), the offspring will be female (XX); if the offspring receives a Y chromosome from the male, it will be male (XY).
In humans, which sex chromosome determines if an offspring is a male or female?
A mouse receives 19 chromosomes from its male parent. A typical mouse has 40 chromosomes, with 19 coming from the male and 19 from the female parent. Additionally, mice have one pair of sex chromosomes, with males having one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
Female transmit 23 chromosomes to the offspring. She has that unique chromosome called as X chromosome. This is transmitted to the offspring. From male you get either X or Y chromosome. From XX chromosome you get female child. From XY chromosome you get male child.
X chromosome
The sex determination in humans is determined by the male parent through the presence of the X or Y chromosome in the sperm. The female parent always contributes an X chromosome. If the sperm carries an X chromosome, the resulting offspring will be female (XX), and if it carries a Y chromosome, the offspring will be male (XY).
The female parent contributes an X chromosome to its offspring. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), so they can only pass on an X chromosome. If the offspring receives an X chromosome from the male parent (who can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome), the offspring will be female (XX); if the offspring receives a Y chromosome from the male, it will be male (XY).
Yes, the sex of the offspring is determined by the chromosomes contributed by the parents. The female parent always gives an X chromosome, while the male parent can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome, determining whether the offspring will be male (XY) or female (XX).
Homologous
In humans, which sex chromosome determines if an offspring is a male or female?
Drosphila
In humans, which sex chromosome determines if an offspring is a male or female?
It is on the X Chromosome (male have XY chromosome Females have XX Chromosome)
A mouse receives 19 chromosomes from its male parent. A typical mouse has 40 chromosomes, with 19 coming from the male and 19 from the female parent. Additionally, mice have one pair of sex chromosomes, with males having one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
If it has a x and y chromosome it is from a male if it has two x chromosome or is from a female
Male parent (father)
XY = Male XX = Female
