Humansex refers to the processes by which an individual becomes either a male or female during development. The Jost Paradigm Under typical circumstances, the sex of an individual will be determined and expressed through the following mechanisms Chromosomal Sex genetic Presence or absence of Y chromosome Gonadal Sex Primary SexDetermination Controlled by presence or absence of testis determining factor TDF Phenotypic Sex Secondary SexDifferentiation Determined by the hormonal products produced by the gonads . Sexdifferentiation See also Sex differences in humans Sexdifferentiation refers to the expression of phenotypic attributes specific to the sex of an individual. While gonad development is a result of the presence or absence of the sexdetermination gene SRY on the Y chromosome, sexdifferentiation is determined by the hormonal products produced by the gonads.

The ZW sexdetermination system is a system that determines the sex of offspring in bird s, some fish and crustaceans such as the Macrobrachium rosenbergii giant river prawn , some insect s including butterflies and moth s , and some reptiles, including Komodo dragon s. In the ZW system it is the ovum that determines the sex of the offspring, in contrast to the XY sexdetermination system and the X0 sexdetermination system , wherein it is the sperm that determines the sex. The letters Z and W are used to distinguish this system from the XY system. Males are the homogametic sex ZZ , while females are homogametic sex heterogametic ZW .

The X0 sexdetermination system is a system that hymenoptera ns, grasshopper s, cricket insect cricket s, cockroach cockroaches , and some other insects use to determine the sex of their offspring. In this system, there is only one sex chromosome, referred to as X. Males only have one X chromosome X0 , while females have two XX . The zero sometimes, the letter O signifies the lack of a second X. Maternal gametes always contain an X chromosome, so the sex of the animals offspring is decided by the male. Its spermatozoon sperm normally contain either one X chromosome or no sex chromosomes at all. In a variant of this system, certain animals are hermaphrodite hermaphroditic with two sex chromosomes XX and male with only one X0 . The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans &mdash a nematode frequently used in biological research&mdash is one such organism. Some Drosophila species have X0 males. ref Patterson JT and Stone WS. 1952. Evolution in the Genus Drosophila. ref These are thought to arise via the loss of the Y chromosome .

In humans and several other species of animals, the father determines the sex of the child. In the XY sexdetermination system , the female provided ovum contributes an X chromosome and the male provided sperm contributes either an X chromosome or a Y chromosome, resulting in female XX or male XY offspring, respectively. Recent findings indicate that maternal influences may impact which sperm are more likely to achieve conception and that there may be mechanisms by which the mother selectively encourages or discourages sperm with particular characteristics. Human ova, like those of other mammals, are covered with a thick translucent layer called the zona pellucida , which the sperm must penetrate to fertilize the egg. Once viewed simply as an impediment to fertilization , recent research indicates the zona pellucida may instead function as a sophisticated biological security system that chemically controls the entry of the sperm into the egg and protects the fertilized egg from additional sperm. ref Suzanne Wymelenberg, Science and Babies, National Academy Press, 1990, page 17 ref Recent research indicates that human ova may produce a chemical which appears to attract sperm and influence their swimming motion. However, not all sperm are positively impacted some appear to remain uninfluenced and some actually move away from the egg. ref Richard E. Jones and Kristin H. Lopez, Human Reproductive Biology, Third Edition, Elsevier, 2006, page 238 ref Maternal influences may also be possible that affect sexdetermination in such a way as to produce fraternal twins equally weighted between one male and one female. ref http home.comcast.net brucehjohnson Applied Physics Engineering ref See also Fertilisation External links http www.wikigenes.org e mesh e 6590.html Sperm Ovum Interactions at WikiGenes References references Category Reproduction Category Sexdetermination systems ... more details
