Mendel concluded from his experiments that reciprocal crosses yield the same types of progeny in the same proportions. http://www. macmillanhighered. com/brainhoney/resource/6716/digital_first_content/trunk/test/morri s2e/asset/img_ch17/morris2e_ch17_fig_17_02. jpg. In human males, segregation of the x chromosome from the y chromosome during anaphase i of meiosis results in half the sperm bearing an x chromosome and the other half bearing a ychromosome. The expected ratio of 1:1 of females:males refers to the sex ratio at the time of conception. This is the primary sex ratio, and it is not easily observed because the earliest stages of human fertilization and development are inaccessible to large-scale study. What can be observed is the sex ratio at birth, called the secondary sex ratio, which differs among populations but usually shows a slight excess of males. sex chromosome any of the chromosomes associated with sex. Y chromosome one of the sex chromosomes; a normal human male has one x and one ychromosome. autosome any chromosome other than the sex chromosomes.
