A sperm which contains an X chromosome, produced in the usual way in the testicles, referring to the occurrence of such a sperm fertilizing an egg and giving birth to a female.[1]
A sperm which artificially contains genetic material from a female.[2]
Since the late 1980s, scientists have explored how to produce sperm where all of the chromosomes come from a female donor.[3]
