Question

What genes are passed from father to daughter?

Answer 1

Reproduction is the process of formation and fusion of haploid gametes resulting in the production of diploid zygote that grows to produce a new individual or offspring. Human beings are viviparous organisms with sexual mode of reproduction with internal fertilization and internal development. In humans sexes are separate. The phenomenon of phenotypic differences between males and females is called sexual dimorphism.

Complete answer:
Sex of the baby is determined at the time of Fertilization and no medicine or quackery can change it later on. Determination of the sex of the baby is dependent upon the chromosome complement of the fusing sperm.
Women do not have any role in determining the sex of the child. They are homogametic. Means they are producing only one type of gamete or ova (22+X).
Men are heterogametic. They produce two types of sperm or gamete, one is endosperm (22+Y) and the other one is gymnosperm (22+X) in equal proportion. Sex of the baby will be determined by whether an androsperm or a gynosperm causes fertilization. The chances are 50:50.
If the fertilization is caused by androsperm the zygote will develop into a male child. The Y chromosome contains the SRY (sex determining region) gene which starts the virilization or masculinization process. This gene (SRY) plays an important role in foetal development of testis. The X chromosome doesn’t contain this SRY gene. If the gymnosperm has caused the, the zygote will be developed into a female child.
Son will receive the X-linked gene from mother and Y-linked gene from father.
Daughter will receive the X-linked gene from the father as well as the mother.

Note:
Sexual differences begin in the 7th week of development. The chromosomes in humans are 46 in number, meaning 23 pairs. One pair is sex chromosome, XX in females and XY in males. The Remaining 22 pairs of chromosomes are called autosomal chromosomes. SRY gene on Y chromosome initiate the release of testosterone and formation of male sex organ. Without Y chromosome, thus without SRY gene, the cell will secrete estrogen and the baby female will develop female Sex organ.
