The sex ratio is low owing to the inherent bias in the number of sperms that carry Y chromosome.

The sex ratio is low owing to the inherent bias in the number of sperms that carry Y chromosome. Correct Answer False

The human males have XY as their sex chromosomes. Thus upon undergoing meiosis, the probability of sperm having an X chromosome is the same as that of having a Y chromosome. There is no natural bias here. The lower sex ratio hence cannot be accounted to such a biological phenomenon.
