Hi friend!
Answer:
Yes, it is true that the father plays a significant role in the sex determination of the baby.
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell in the human body. One of the pair of these chromosomes are called sex chromosomes.
There are two types of sex chromosomes, named X and Y.
A female has two X chromosomes and a male has an X chromosome and a Y chromosome.
But the gametes, the sperm and the ovum, contain only one set of chromosomes.
So, if the father contributes an X chromosome, the zygote will have 2 X chromosomes (XX) and will develop into a girl child.
If the father contributes a Y chromosome, the zygote will have an X and a Y chromosome (XY) and will develop into a boy child.
For further understanding, I have attached a flowchart along with this answer.
Hope you found my answer helpful. Keep Smiling!
