4 © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Your Sexual Identity: More Than Biology Sexual identity is determined by the interaction of genetic, physiological, environmental, and social factors. The father's fertilizing sperm determines the child's sex. All eggs (ova) carry an X chromosome; sperm may carry either an X or Y chromosome. If a sperm carrying an X chromosome fertilizes an egg, the resulting combination of sex chromosomes (XX) produces a female. If a sperm carrying a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, the XY combination produces a male.

5 © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Your Sexual Identity: More Than Biology Intersexuality: Gonads: The reproductive organs in men and women; testes produce sperm in males and ovaries produce eggs in females. Puberty:
