allosomes/heterosomes Correct Ans-- are sex chromosomes that are different from

present in the sperm
- these chromosomes help in determination of sex of the progeny
- if the offspring receives X chromosome from the mother as well as father, it results in a
female child (XX)
- if the offspring receives one X and one Y chromosome from the parents, it results in a male
child (XY)
- in simple words, it is the donation of X or Y chromosome by the father that helps the
