Feedback:
Conception usually occurs when the ovum is in the outer third of the fallopian tube (oviduct). Human life (conception) begins with the union of two cells: the ovum (female) and the sperm (male). At the time of conception, the sperm determines the sex. An ovum carries only one type of chromosome to determine sex: the X chromosome. A male sperm cell may carry either an X or Y sex chromosome. If a sperm cell carrying a Y chromosome fertilizes the ovum, a boy (XY) will result; if the sperm cell carries an X chromosome, the result will be a girl (XX).
