Dear Student

Sex determination in unborn baby: The sex of unborn baby is determined by the sex chromosomes. An unfertilized egg always has X chromosomes. Sperms are of two types. One contains X chromosomes and the other contains Y chromosomes. If sperm contributes a Y chromosome to the egg at fertilisation, the zygote would develope into male child. If a sperm containing X chromosome fertilises the egg, the zygote would develop into a female.

Thanks
