Question

Your gender, whether you are male or female, is determined by the
A) X or Y chromosomes, inherited from father.
B) X or Y chromosomes, inherited from your mother.
C) two of the 22 pairs of chromosomes your inherited.
D) chromosomes from your mother and X from your father.

Answer 1

The answer is A. Females chromosomes are XX, males are XY. So from your mother you will get an X no matter what and it depends on whether you get an X or a Y from your father :) sorry this is late :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A.

In humans, the gender of a child is mainly determined by the sex chromosome inherited from the father.

It is because human females are homozygous (XX) in terms of sex chromosome. So, their gamete will always contain an X chromosome.

In contrast, human males are heterozygous, that is, they contain XY as sex chromosome. Thus, they will produce two types of gametes of which one would contain X and the other one would contain Y.

When the male gamete containing X chromosome fuse with female gamete, the offspring produce would be a girl and when the male gamete containing Y chromosome fuse with female gamete, the offspring produce would be a boy.
