(c) gets one sex chromosome from the mother and the other from the father. gets sex chromosome only from the father
A
Answer is (c) gets one sex chromosome from the mother and the other from the father.
Explanation:
Mother has XX in their 23rd chromosome set. Mather always donates X to the offspring. Father has XY chromosome on the 23rd set. If father donates X child will be female. If Father donates Y then child will be male. Hence it is the father who is responsible for the sex of the child.
