    1. Male
      1. carry XY chromosomes
      2. A Sperm carrying a Y chromosome ferttilises an egg
        Y chromosome carries SRY which causes testes to develop in an XY embryo
    2. Female
      1. A sperm carrying an X chromosome fertilises an egg
      2. Carry XX chromosomes
  2. Dominant and recessive alleles
