A
X-chromosome has 2.8% more DNA
B
Y-chromosome has 2.8% more DNA
C
X-chromosome has 0.28% more DNA
D
Y-chromosome has 0.28% more DNA
High-Yield Explanation
Ans. is 'a' i.e.,X-chromosome has 2.8% more DNAA sperm-soing technology (the microso method) is the most effective procedure yet devised at separating X-bearing and Y-bearing sperm.X sperm have only 2.8% more DNA than those carrying a Y chromosome, fluorescent dye that attaches to DNA and glows under laser light in sperm soer then separates the sperm, sending X sperm down one tube and Y sperm into another.The soed sperm can then be placed in the woman's uterus (aificial insemination) or used for in vitro feilization.
