[quote=Anonymous]The purpose of sperm sorting is to help couples conceive a child that is the gender of their choice. If the sperm that fertilizes the egg carries an X chromosome, the conception will result in a female embryo. Y-carrying sperm will result in a male embryo. There is typically a very small difference in the weight of sperm based on which sex chromosome it carries. Gender selection sperm sorting technology relies on this difference to separate sperm using a centrifuge. At conception, the gender of your future baby is determined by specific chromosome characteristics - and it will be the male's Sperm that dictates if the baby will be a boy or a girl. Some studies have shown that the sperm with the X chromosome - or female chromosome - are more robust and live longer than the than the sperm with the Y (or male) chromosome. While the 'female' sperm have a greater longevity, the 'male sperm' are better swimmers, so to speak. The male sperm have better motility, or forward swimming motion. This gives them the attribute of speed. In effect, male sperm life fast and die young. It is believed that if intercourse takes place closer to ovulation, then the probability is greater that the child will be male, due to the high motility (forward progression) and the decreased life span of the sperm.
