At the instant of fertilization, your baby's genes and sex are set. If the sperm has a Y chromosome, your baby will be a boy. If it has an X chromosome, the baby will be a girl. what make you who you are your genes and dna determine your life yes or know whether your human whether you're an animal a boy girl etc right if its not dna or genes what determines if you are human answer the question nazis

"If the sperm has a Y chromosome, your baby will be a boy. If it has an X chromosome, the baby will be a girl."
So Andrew gas kills IN A WORLD without syndromes like XXY and XYY or people with both sets of genitalia, to name some.
If it has an X chromosome it will be a girl?
Everyone's a girl, guys. Heard it here first.
Also, the first few sentences - while stupid - are reasonably constructed. What the hell happened to the last one?
What if the zygote has two Y chromosomes? What if it has two X and a Y? There are biological girls with XY, who lacked a certain enzyme during fetal development, so they continued to develop as girls. All embryos start out as girls, ya know; that's why we all have nipples.
Can you tell if this morula is boy or girl, Andy-Pandy?

You think that all that you are is just a sex, and no other personality characteristics exist?
There are environmental influences, like the more boys a woman gives birth to, the higher the chance is of the last one being gay. It's almost like nature wants to provide an extra caregiver, if something happens to the older brothers after they have kids. It's also like nature is making sure that not too many people have kids.
Correction: Your genotype is set at birth, not your gender. Your physical sex matches your genotype most of the time, in the sense of that least one Y chromosome normally develops as male, and no Ys normally develops as female. Your gender matches your physical sex most of the time, but occasionally doesn't.
In case, you know, there are people other than Andy who still haven't gotten it.
Easy. DNA also determines things like which pheromones you will react to once you start attaining sexual maturity, as well as some of the wiring in your brain. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.
As to the idea of pure genetic determinism, bunk I say. Environment shapes who you are, with your genetics as a starting point. Of course, "nature vs nurture" is a long-standing and spirited debate. Which is why someone like you likely wouldn't grasp it.
“ if its not dna or genes what determines if you are human answer the question nazis”
We’ve known since about the 50s that there are 30 traits to the human body that determine sexual identity. Body chemistry, brain construction, genitals, all contribute but none of them are THE ONE THING that determines who they feel they are.
You see a penis and can’t imagine anything else mattering. This is not the acme of biology.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
