Answer: The father determines the biological sex of a baby

Explanation: Human beings have two sex chromosomes, males have XY chromosomes whereas females have XX chromosomes. During fertilization, an egg from a woman fuses with a sperm cell from a man to form a zygote. Women have two X chromosomes (XX) and any point in time they can only release an egg bearing an X chromosome but males have one X and one Y chromosome, therefore they can either release a sperm cell with an X chromosome or a sperm cell with a Y chromosome. When an egg with X-chromosome fuses with a sperm cell with an X chromosome, the resulting baby is a female but when an egg with an X chromosome fuses with a sperm cell with a Y chromosome, the resulting baby is a male.

What makes the difference in both sexes is the Y chromosome from the man, therefore the father determines the biological sex of a baby.

List 4 ways in which you can decrease your chances of catching the flu or cold

shutvik [7]

Hi there!

#1 Washing you’re hands after touching anything that may be dirty, or even just using the restroom.

#2 Disinfecting door nobs, handles, desks and things you may touch on a daily basis.

#3 Stay away from those you may think are sick.

#4 Having those around you remember to cover their mouths and noses while sneezing.

Remember to do this using the pit of you’re elbows NOT you’re hands. This can spread germs more easily.

Hope this helps you!
