Were they created of
                                                     nothing, or were they
                                                     themselves the cre-
                                                     ators? Or did they
                                                     create the heavens
                                                     and the earth? Nay,
                                                     they have no firm
                                                     belief.
                                                     (Surat at-Tur, 35-36)







































                X chromosomes, her reproductive cells (ova) will contain only those. Males
                on the other hand, have both X and Y chromosomes, so half of their repro-
                ductive cells (sperms) will be X and the other half Y. If an ovum unites
                with a sperm containing an X chromosome, the offspring is female; if it
                unites with one containing a Y chromosome, the offspring is male.
