_______________________

• "Gender of child is determined by the male partner of couple", the statement is TRUE.

>> The female chromosomes have only XX ie for girl only , but the male chromosomes have XY ie either girl or boy.
>> Now, it is the chance whether the X chromosome of male fuses with X of female or Y chromosome of male fuses.
>> Therefore , the father or male partner determine the gender of the child.
>> A boy will be born if Y of male fuses with X of female and a girl will be born if X of male fuses with X of female.

Answer 2

Gender of child is determined by the male partner of couple is true.

EXPLANATION:

• The females have a 'pair of X chromosomes (XX)' and the males have 'one X' and 'one Y' chromosome '(XY)'.

• Hence, the eggs that are produced by the female only have X chromosomes whereas the sperms created by the males can have both either X or Y chromosomes.

• When an unfertilized egg fuses with the sperm of the male that has an X chromosome, then a female child is born who also has a pair of X chromosomes.

• Similarly, when an unfertilized egg fuses with the sperm that has Y chromosomes, this leads to the birth of a male child who has one X and one Y chromosomes.
