Before the
invention of the strong microscopes, the sperm was visualized with little
imagination that inside that sperm was a little human being and all it needed
is to be implanted in the female where it would grow. There were others that
believed that the female egg contained the little human being. The fact that
the sperm and the egg are both necessary for conception were not known until
the 18th century when strong microscopes were developed.
v
The Prophet MuhammadSAW
was the first to mention that both fluids from the male and the female are both
needed for fertilization. When the Prophet MuhammadSAW
was asked by a Jewish person, what is man created from. The Prophet answered
"O, Jew, he is created
from both: from the fluid (Nutfah) of the man and the
fluid (Nutfah) of the woman." (Prophetic Statement
Narrated in Musnad Imam Ahmed). See (YouTube Video Link OR 2:29 min Download)

The
Quran is the only ancient book that indicated that gender is determined by the
ejected sperms. The fluid from the male containing the sperms is the one being
ejected. The female egg is not ejected. In Quran [53:45-46] "He has
created both genders, male and female from a drop of a sperm emitted."
v The fact that the male chromosome
determines the gender of the baby. The egg chromosome is always X but the sperm
is either X or Y. If the resulting fetus is XY then the baby is a male but if it’s
a XX then the gender of the baby is going to be a female. See (2:11 min
