Technology that can separate X-bearing and Y-bearing sperm offers prospective parents the opportunity to choose the sex of their child. First, the sperm are dosed with a DNA-staining chemical. Because the X chromosome has slightly more DNA than the Y chromosome, it takes up more dye. When a laser beam shines on the sperm, the X-bearing sperm shine more brightly than the Y-bearing sperm.a. How might this technology be beneficial for couples that have a history of X-linked genetic disorders?b. How might this technology be misused?
