Question 3 • 26-27 Ignite Health Science Concepts - EL3602
In humans, an ovum contributes an X chromosome, while a sperm contributes either an X or a Y chromosome, so sperm determine whether the offspring is typically female or male. Sperm are produced continuously after puberty, whereas a woman’s immature ova are present from birth. Sperm are also much smaller than ova. Choice C is reversed: sperm can move using their tails, while ova do not move on their own.
