Do all sperm cells with the same chromosome create the exact same baby?

590 views

Let’s say you have two sperm cells with an X-chromosome, and one egg from the mother. If one of the sperm cells penetrates the egg it creates a baby, but if the other penetrates the egg, does it create the exact same baby, or is there a slight variation? Meaning will they e.g. look exactly the same or look a little bit different?

Humans have 23 sets of chromosomes, and the sperm from the father carries one randomly selected from each set.

That gives the sperm over eight million possible chromosome selections.
