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.
Since the egg already contains an X chromosome (from the mother), the gender of a baby is determined by the X or Y sex chromosome of the sperm cell from the father (thus adding one more thing to the blame it on the husband list if things don't go as planned). girl baby will result if the final arrangement is XX, and a boy will result if it is XY. As you would expect, about half of the sperm cells contain an X chromosome, and half contain a Y chromosome. It is possible to have an abnormal number of sex chromosomes, however, this is extremely rare.
