Baby gender
Boy or girl? The mysteries of gender selectionMark Kan, MDParents have been trying to influence the sex of their baby at conception for as long as people have been trying to make babies. baby gender Gender prediction. While there have been many myths regarding gender selection, there has also been legitimate scientific research in this field. Read on to learn more!What determines the gender of a baby?The sex of a baby is determined by the two sex chromosomes inherited from the parents. A baby will normally inherit one sex chromosome from the mother, and one from the father. baby gender Gender selection. A woman has two X chromosomes, so she can give either of her X chromosomes. The father can give either his X or Y 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). baby gender Gender of baby. A 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. Realizing that gender is dependent on the Y-bearing and X- bearing sperm cells, scientists have attempted for years to separate these two populations from each other. Fortunately -- or unfortunately (depending on your view) -- this has proven to be a very difficult task. The human sperm cell is one of the smallest cells in the body. The head is oval, tapered and flat. The genetic material is tightly packed inside the head. The tail is long and very motile, giving the cell its amazing swimming capability. Sex selection procedures are based on theoretical and actual differences between the two types of sperm cells. How can you tell X sperm from Y?Various methods attempting separation have included:1) spinning the cells to separate by weight2) having the cells swim through different layers of media3) placing the cells in an electric field. . . along with countless other procedures. While there have been reports that some of these techniques have separated X and Y cells to various degrees, it has been difficult to reproduce any clinically significant success when using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) to confirm separation. The most successful technique to date is a process called flow cytometry. Flow cytometryWith this technique, the nuclear material of the cells is stained with a dye, and the cells are passed through a machine in a high-speed, single-file line.
