Answer 2

Hi friend!

All children exhibit X chromosomes from their mother irrespective of whether they are boys or girls. The gender of the child depends on the chromosome he/she inherits from his/her father. If a child inherits X chromosomes from her father, it will be a girl whereas if a child inherits Y chromosome from his father, it will be a boy. There for the probability of getting a boy is 50%.
