Answer: ‘1’ where the sperm (with the flagellum) having X chromosome is going to get united with the egg containing X chromosome.

Explanation: In humans the sex determination is based on one pair of chromosomes, if the pair is XY+ 22 pairs of autosomes it is male and if the pair is XX + 22 pairs of autosomes it is the female.

In short, the sex determination in humans is XX/XY type.

For a child to be born there has to be a fertilization of a male gamate with a female gamate

The sperm is the male gamate, which is motile and for motility it possesses flagellum, since the males are having XY chromosome pair, they are heterogametic, in one gamate the male will have the X chromosome + 22 autosomes and another gamate there will be Y chromosome + 22 autosomes.

While the human female is homogamatic i.e there will be same types of gamates produced by the female containing one X chromosome +22 autosomes.

If the sperm containing Y chromosome fertilizes the egg containing X chromosome, a male child will be born

If the sperm containing X chromosome fertilizes the egg containing X chromosome, a female child will be born as it is shown in option ‘1’ in the image, hence ‘1’ is the answer.
