Hola!!
Here's ur answer.

✴ The sex of a child is determined at the time of fertilization and depends on the type of sperm that fuses with the egg.

✴ Human female is homogametic, that is, all the eggs she produce contain 22 + X chromosomes. Males are heterogametic, that is, they prodyce two types of sperm - 50% of them contain 22 + X chromosomes and other 50% contain 22 + Y chromosomes. If the sperm conraining X - chromosome fertilises the egg, the zygote becomes a female (44 + XX) and if the sperm containing Y - chromosome fertilises the egg, the zygote becomes a male (44 + XY).

Hope \: it \: helps!!
