Sex chromosome from the father:

  1. X and Y chromosomes are present in male sex gametes, whereas two X chromosomes are present in female sex gametes.
  2. In their 23rd chromosome set, Mother has XX. Mother always gives X to her children.
  3. On the 23rd chromosome pair, the father carries the XY chromosome.
  4. If the father donates, X will be a girl child. The child will be male if Father contributes Y.
  5. As a reason, the child's sex is the responsibility of the father.
