Answer 2

                    How Is gender of a baby determined

• Each Cell carries 23 pairs of Chromosomes, 22 Autosomes and a pair of Sex Chromosomes namely XX in Females and XY in males.
• Gametes formed in the reproductive organs  have half the number of Chromosomes.
• All the ovum would have X as their sex chromosomes, while the sperms would have either X OR Y  as their sex chromosome.
• If X bearing sperm fertilizes a X bearing ovum the gender of the child would be female.
• If Y bearing sperm fertilizes a X bearing ovum the gender of the child would be a male.
