Sex Determination in Humans
 Sex determination definition  It’s a process

through which gender i.e. male or female of a
person is determined.
 Sex Chromosome definition  They are those
chromosomes which determine the gender of
a person.
 Male (man or father)  has sex chromosome
pair as XY  he has one X chromosome and
one Y chromosome  it means sperm has X
and Y chromosome  Imperfect pair of
chromosome
 Female (women or mother)  has sex
chromosome pair as XX  she has two X
chromosome (no Y chromosome)  It means
eggs (ova) has two X chromosome  perfect
