A female is blamed for giving birth to a baby girl. Do you agree with it? If not, State suitable reasons also draw a flow chart by which it can be proved that a female is not to be blamed for the cause.
Please find below the solution to the asked query
No, it is not true. A female should not be blamed for the birth of a female child. This can be understood from the following chart:
In human beings, the females have two X chromosomes and the males have one X and one Y chromosome. Therefore, the females are XX and the males are XY.
The gametes, as we know, receive half of the chromosomes. The male gametes have 22 autosomes and either X or Y sex chromosome.
Type of male gametes: 22+X OR 22+ Y.
However, since the females have XX sex chromosomes, their gametes can only have X sex chromosome.
Type of female gamete: 22+X
Thus, the mother provides only X chromosomes. The sex of the baby is determined by the type of male gamete (X or Y) that fuses with the X chromosome of the female.
