The X and Y chromosomes, also known as the sex chromosomes, determine the biological sex of an individual: females inherit an X chromosome from the father for a XX genotype, while males inherit a Y chromosome from the father for a XY genotype (mothers only pass on X chromosomes).
A) The male determines sex because the sperm can fertilize either a female egg or a male egg. B) The female gamete determines sex because only the female gamete provides cytoplasm to the zygote. C) The male gamete determines sex because each male gamete can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome. D) The chromosome contribution from both parents determines sex because the offspring uses all the parents' chromosomes.
