Question 4

what happens if a sperm carries a y chromosome, what sex will it produce?

Accepted Answer

A male: Fertilization by a sperm with an X chromosome will produce a female.

Question 5

if there any reason i have to understand why we have only daughters and no son? less male (y) sperm maybe or is it inherited in the genes?

Accepted Answer

Daughters : Each time the sperm fertilizes the egg there's an equal chance of a y chromosome (which would create a male fetus) and x-chromosome ( which would create a female fetus) fertilizing the egg. Statistically there is some variation between 0.85 and 1.15 of male to female birth rates. Basically it's like flipping a quarter 10 times the first four times you might get heads but over all you end up with a 50-50 ratio.

Question 6

my husband's sperm count has been varying.last year it was 45 million with motility of 55 this year it is 17 million with motil 25. y is it varying ?

Accepted Answer

normal variation: Variation in sperm count is normal.  That said, some things that can affect a semen analysis include the length of abstinence, whether collection was onsite, and illnesses or hot tub use in the 3 months prior to the sample.  The parameters you listed are essentially normal with a decrease in motility this year.

Question 7

is k-y lubricant friendly to sperms?

Accepted Answer

YES: Straight k-y is sperm neutral.

Question 8

how long do the x and y sperms take to reach the egg?

Accepted Answer

Sperm: Sperm can reach the egg in as little as a few minutes if the egg is waiting there. There is not a strict rule about 'how long' for x vs. Y sperm, though the x-bearing sperm on average swim a little slower.

Question 9

does x chromosome sperm live longer than y chromosome sperm? if so what is the lifespan difference?

Accepted Answer

No evidence: There is no difference in the lifespan of different sexed sperm.  The Y chromosome is trivially lighter than the X chromosome sperm which might help explain the fact that more males are conceived than females.

Accepted Answer
