Question

Is it correct to say that “Father is responsible for the sex of the baby that is born”?
Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

mark me as breinilist

Explanation:

Men determine the sex of a baby depending on whether their sperm is carrying an X or Y chromosome. An X chromosome combines with the mother's X chromosome to make a baby girl (XX) and a Y chromosome will combine with the mother's to make a boy (XY).

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, it is correct.

Explanation:

The mother gives an X chromosome to the child. The father may contribute an X or a Y. The chromosome from the father determines if the baby is born male or female.

Father is responsible to know the child's sex because a male has X and Y chromosomes. And female has a perfect set of XX chromosomes, so when a male's X chromosome pairs with female X then a girl is to be born, while Y pairs with X then a boy is to be born.
