Raj Kumar and his wife Sunita have been blessed with a baby girl. On the other hand, Kripa Shanker and his wife have been blessed with a baby boy. What type of chromosomes has been contributed by each one of them ? Justify your answer with the help of diagrams.

The duck billed platypus is an unusual mammal. If you examine the sex chromosomes of a female platypus you will find a total of 10 X chromosomes. Examining a male platypus finds 5 X chromosomes and 5 Y chromosomes. No other combinations are seen. Each of these five X chromosomes is unique as is each Y chromosome (i.e. X1 pairs only with X1 or Y1, X2 with X2 or Y2 and so on). Why is this unusual? What unusual event must happen during meiosis in a male platypus? (Think carefully about what happens in meiosis 1)
