Q. 2
What determines the sex of a child?
A. Chromosome content of the ovum
B. Chromosome content of the sperm
C. Number of days between ovulation and fertilization
D. Number of days between fertilization and implantation
Answer :
XX : mother
XY : father
The mother always contributes one X chromosome to the sex of the baby while the father may contribute either an X or Y chromosome. When the father contributes Y chromosome, the baby born is a boy as the set of chromosome he will have would be XY and, if the father contributes X chromosome, the progeny will be a baby girl.
