Hey guys! It's great and amazing when we realize new things and acquire new knowledge on things we are ignorant about, to foster a good living and a peaceful coexistence.
Knowledge wipes away fear and eliminates ignorance. When we are fully informed, even the people around us will not be a victim of certain circumstances because we'll represent and mediate as advocates.
Some women, even in this times out of ignorance, subject themselves to the blame of the sex of their child. Join me, as I unveil who actually is the sex determinant in reproduction.
Sex in this context is the gender of a child. The gender of a child can either be male or female. Most times, when the sex of a child isn't favourable to the family, the blame is allotted to the women. They are blamed for the sex of the child.
A woman is not the determinant of the sex or gender of a child in reproduction but rather, a man.
Every woman and man has a sex chromosome of which fusion of the female sex chromosome with the male sex chromosome, will result in the formation of a zygote which eventually develops into a foetus.
The female sex chromosome is always (XX) while the male sex chromosome is (XY).
Each chromosome in the pair of chromosome (XX) contain 23 chromosomes while a pair of the chromosome contains 46 chromosomes which makes a complete human. For instance let's make an illustration to explain the content of the sex chromosome of each gender but, I'll be making the illustration, using the female gender.
Using a female sex chromosome (XX), X - 23 chromosome + X - 23 chromosome which equals 46 chromosome which is a female gender. This illustration is the same as in the male gender.
During reproduction, the female donates 23 chromosome and the male simultaneously to make a complete human.
It's only the man that has a Y chromosome and this makes him a primary determinant of the sex of the child. If his X chromosome fertilizes with the already donated X chromosome of the woman, it's definitely going to be a female but if the Y chromosome fertilizes with the X chromosome of the woman, a male gender is formed.
The issue of whether or not a female child is better than the male child brings up the issue of a gender preference and if observations are made, it's just an outburst of emotion, ignorance and cultural beliefs.
Every gender is a gift and should be seen as a blessing but, there are some factors that contribute to the preference of gender in our society.
Some people have the belief that a male child would continue the name of the family, also that there's no possibility of losing the succession and inheritance of the family.
While this might be true, it's practically ignorant to think that if all your children are female, that they can't amount to anything in comparison to a man. If you have a female gender, your inheritance are still safe if you legally file all the documents of your properties under her name in court. Infact, a female child, even when married, can joggle her home and her family issues and she can't be compared to a male child with no vision.
Appreciate everything gender you see... 😍🥰
