Solution
The correct option is A 1 in 2
Chances of a baby to be either boy or girl is always 50% or 1 in 2 because there are 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes in human beings.
Female is homozygous while male is heterozygous and genetically responsible for sex of the child. Sperms are of two types, i.e., sperms having X-chromosome responsible for producing a girl and sperms having Y-chromosome responsible for producing a boy.
