V. Abstraction

The teacher will discuss the following :
Sex Chromosomes and Sex Determination

Humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell.

Observation of the human body cells shows
23 pairs of chromosomes for both males and
females . Twenty-two pairs are somatic
chromosomes. The 23rd pair consists of sex
chromosomes. Human males and some other
male organisms, such as other mammals and
fruit flies, have non-identical sex
chromosomes (XY). Females have identical
(XX) sex chromosomes.

VI. Sex determination

If an egg is fertilized by a sperm with a Y

chromosome, as shown in Figure 4, the offspring is
male. When an egg is fertilized by a sperm carrying
an X chromosome, the offspring is female. Note that
there is a 50 percent chance of having a male or
female offspring. The greater the number of
offspring, the greater is the chance of getting the
expected 1:1 ratio of male and female
Application

Teachers Activity Students Activity

The teacher will let ask the students the
following:

What will be the sex of a child produced

when an egg is fertilized by a sperm that has Answers may vary
a Y chromosome?
o

What type of sperm must fertilize an egg to

result in a female child?

Based on this Punnett Square, what percent

of children would you expect to be male?

Which sex chromosome is present in both

male and female?
