Sex determination is decided by the 23rd pair of chromosomes commonly known as the sex chromosomes. Males have XY as their 23rd pair and females have XX. A female gamete, the ovum, can only receive only the X chromosome and the male gamete, the spermatozoon can receive either the X or the Y chromosome when meiosis occurs. Therefore the male sperm is responsible for the sex determination of the baby. Example: Figure 1: a Punnet square showing that there is an equal opportunity for a foetus to
of vasectomy require an incision. Incision methods take about 20 minutes. The no-incision method takes less time. INCISION METHODS Usually, a local anesthetic is injected into the pelvic area.
