In our society a woman is often blamed for not bearing male child. Do you thing it is right? Justify.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is not correct to blame the women for giving birth to daughters because a female is a homogametic sex and produces only one type of eggs, each having 22 autosome and one X-chromosome. On the other hand, a male is a heterogametic sex as produces two types of sperms: 50% with X-chromosome and 50% with Y-Chromosome. The sex of baby depends upon the type of sperm fusing with the egg so sex of baby is determined by father and not mother
