Question
Which sex chromosomes would indicate a typical human male?
- XX
- X
- XY
- XXY
Hint:
Sperms decide the sex of the offspring.
The correct answer is: XY
Females are represented by XX and males are represented by XY.
The Y chromosome is present only in males and contains less genes compared to that of females. The presence of this Y chromosome determines the fate of the offspring. The Y chromosome contains genes for the formation of testes.
- Females carry XX chromosome
- Males carry XY chromosome
- Males decide the sex of the offspring
