Question:
What role does the gene in a chromosome have to play in the determination of sex of a child
Answer:
Sex determination is completely dependent on the sex chromosomes.
Females have a perfect pair of sex chromosome, XX
Males have mismatched pair of sex chromosomes, XY
Example: During sexual intercourse, if the sperm from the father contain X chromosome which meets the X from mother; the sex of the child would be female (XX)
Genes on the chromosomes determine the traits of an organism.
