What are the differences between x sperm and y sperm in terms of their characteristics and functions during the fertilization process?

X sperm and Y sperm are different in terms of their genetic content, with X sperm carrying an X chromosome and Y sperm carrying a Y chromosome. During fertilization, X sperm typically result in female offspring, while Y sperm typically result in male offspring. The characteristics and functions of X and Y sperm are primarily determined by the chromosomes they carry, influencing the gender of the resulting offspring.


How do you kill y sperm without killing the X sperm?

There is currently no method to selectively kill Y sperm without affecting X sperm. Both types of sperm are killed using the same techniques such as heat exposure or acidic environments. It is not feasible to target one type of sperm without impacting the other.


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.


Does a girl sperm?

No, sperm carries either an X or Y chromosome, determining the sex of the offspring. It is the sperm carrying the Y chromosome that will result in a male offspring, while the sperm carrying the X chromosome will result in a female offspring.


Which sex cell controls the sex of a baby?

I will explain, but I don't know why you put this in cat behavior. The X chromosome and Y chromosome control gender. If an embryo's two chromosomes are XX, it will be a girl. If the chromosomes are XY, it will be male. A pair of chromosomes have to have at least one X chromosome in it, but can also have a Y chromosome.

How long do Y chromosome sperm survive in the female body before fertilization occurs?

Y chromosome sperm can survive in the female body for up to 3-5 days before fertilization occurs.


How long do girl sperm survive compared to boy sperm?

Girl sperm, or X-bearing sperm, tend to survive longer than boy sperm, or Y-bearing sperm, in the female reproductive tract. This is because X-bearing sperm are larger and more resilient, allowing them to live longer and have a higher chance of fertilizing an egg.


How many hours does a male sperm or Y sperm live inside a woman's body. I heard that they die off much faster than their X Sperm counter parts?

I dont know much about x or y sperm but i do know sperm can survive up to 72 hours my doctor told me that.


What makes sperm move?

The tail of the sperm whips and forces the sperm forward. Y sperm are smaller, lighter and faster, X sperm are larger, heavier and slower but can keep going for longer. Y sperm are sprinters, X sperm are long distance runners.

How long does y chromosome sperm lives in a girl body?

Y chromosome sperm can survive in a woman's reproductive tract for up to 24-48 hours after ejaculation but may only fertilize an egg within the first 12 hours.


How do you kill a y sperm without killing the X sperm?

Sperm have both x and y chromosmes and it would be immpossible to try and kill the y without killing the x


What men should eat to increase Y sperm?

Increase Y chromosome sperm? Can't happen, ONE X and ONE Y chromosome in each


It is possible to accurately predict all male offspring for a particular mating pair why or why not?

Chromosomally, no. However, the survivability of Y-chromosome versus X-chromosome sperm under differing environmental conditions must also be considered. Y-chromosome sperm seem better adapted to alkaline environments, whereas X-chromosome sperm better survive acidity. Also, the sperm could be sorted before in vitro fertilization (IVF).

What would happen if a person got a y chromosome and another y chromosome?

Firstly, this could not naturally occur. Our chromosome complement comes from the combination of chromosomes in our mother's egg and father's sperm. The mother, being XX, always contributes an X to the egg. The father, being XY, contributes either an X or a Y to each sperm. When an egg and sperm fuse the resulting embryo must be either XX or XY. If we assume some artificial introduction of a Y chromosome to the embryo, we either could have YY (a Y replacing the X) or XYY (a second Y as well as the X). YY would not survive, as there are essential developmental genes on the X. XYY is viable, and occurs naturally if the sperm contains an extra Y after a problem in sperm production. It is often not detected as there are few physical effects. It is thought to occur in ~1:1000 boys.
