Solution

The correct option is B False
A male gamete with an X chromosome, when it fuses with a female egg which always has an X chromosome, the offspring will have an XX chromosome pair. This means the eventual offspring will be a female child. Sex determination in humans is based on XX-XY system where XX means female XY means male.
