Explanation:

1. The sex of a child is determined at the moment of fertilization. There are usually two types of sex chromosome, the X and Y chromosome. The male has XY chromosome, that is each sperm carries either an X chromosome or a Y chromosome while the female has XX chromosome, that is each ovum (egg) carries an X chromosome.

2. It's only one of the chromosome is released for fertilization. If the X type sperm unites with the ovum (which has only X chromosomes), then the genotype of the resultant child is XX which is a female but if a Y type sperm unites with the ovum, the result is an XY genotype which is a male.

6. Why does meiosis increase genetic variation in the offspring, but mitosis does not? (1 point)
brilliants [131]
Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.
