Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFSex determination in humans is governed by the combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents.
- The two main types of sex chromosomes are the X and Y chromosomes, and their combination determines an individual’s biological sex.
- Understanding how these chromosomes function is essential to understanding human genetics and reproduction.
Key Points
- The XY chromosome combination is the key mechanism for sex determination in humans.
- Individuals with XY chromosomes are typically male, while individuals with XX chromosomes are typically female.
- The presence of the Y chromosome determines male sex characteristics, as it contains the SRY gene that triggers the development of male sex organs. Therefore, XY chromosomes are indeed responsible for sex determination.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Right'.
