Distilled water tends to be acidic and can only be recommended as a way of drawing poisons out of the body. Once this is accomplished, the continued drinking of distilled water is a bad idea. Water filtered through reverse osmosis tends to be neutral and is acceptable for regular use provided minerals are supplemented.
Genetically speaking, the gender of a baby is determined by the presence of the 'Y' chromosome (or the absence of it). If a Punnett square were to be drawn and a mono-hybrid â¦ cross carried out, you can see that the only chromosome the female (XX) can pass on is the X chromosome.
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.
