Let's say one was breeding a type of animal, and they wanted all males to have certain characteristics, and all females to have a different set of characteristics. If said breeder had 2 female animals with the characteristics it wanted, could the breeder take the genetic material from the unfertilized ovum of female A and implant it in an ovum of female B, and then artificially implant the fertilized ovum into the uterus of one of the females?
I know this sounds weird, but is it possible, is there anything which would stop the non sex chromosomes from conjoining normally to make a diploid zygote, or anything different between the x chromosome of an ovum and the x chromosome of a sperm?
Simmilarly, could one take the genetic material out of an ovum and implant the genetic material of one X sperm and one Y sperm?
Thanks for entertaining my warped mind's curiosity,
