The sex ratio is low owing to the inherent bias in the number of sperms that carry Y chromosome.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked by my college director while I was bunking the class.My doubt stems from Human Reproduction topic in section Human Reproduction of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

Right OPTION is (b) False

The best explanation: The HUMAN males have XY as their sex chromosomes. Thus upon undergoing meiosis, the PROBABILITY of sperm having an X chromosome is the same as that of having a Y chromosome. There is no natural bias here. The lower sex RATIO hence cannot be accounted to such a biological phenomenon.
