Detailed explanation-1: -When I tell patients there’s about a 50/50 chance for either sex, I also tell them the father’s genes determine the baby’s sex since some of his sperm carries X chromosomes and some carries Y chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Females always pass an X chromosome onto their offspring. If the father passes on an X chromosome, the baby will be genetically female, and if the father passes on a Y chromosome, the baby will be genetically male.
Detailed explanation-3: -The X and Y chromosomes, also known as the sex chromosomes, determine the biological sex of an individual: females inherit an X chromosome from the father for a XX genotype, while males inherit a Y chromosome from the father for a XY genotype (mothers only pass on X chromosomes).
