Answer:

$\star\:\:$$\large{\underline{\mathfrak{Sex\:\: Chromosomes\::-}}}$

• In human beings, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes.

• Out of these 22 chromosomes pairs are called autosomes and the last pair of chromosome that help in deciding gender of that individual is called the sex chromosome.

• XX - female
• XY - Male

• This shows that half the children will be boys and half will be girls. All children will inherit an X chromosome from their mother regardless whether they are boys or girls.

• Thus, the sex of the children will be determined by what they inherit from their father and not from their mother.
