Solution
The correct option is B False
The sex chromosome pair in females consists of 2 X chromosomes. Hence, during egg formation, when the chromosome number is halved, all female gametes (egg) will receive the X chromosome. Males have one X and one Y in their sex chromosome pair. Therefore, the sex of the child depends on which sperm (X or Y) combines with the egg (X).
