Does the egg sperm determine the gender of a human child?
The sperm. The egg is always an XX chromosome and the sperm can either by XX or XY if the sperm is XX it will be a girl if it is XY it will be a boy.Edit: Actually, all girls have XX chromosomes, and all boys have XY chromosomes.

So all eggs have X chromosomes, and sperm can have either an X or a Y chromosome.(So your intention in the answer was right, but just a small technical error.)

How is gender inheritance?
Gender is inherited from your parent's 23rd chromosome. The (XX) chromosome pair is for a female and the (XY) chromosome pair is for a male. You get a (X) chromosome from your mother because she has two (x)'s. Her 23rd chromosome is (XX). It's your father's chromosome that determines what gender you are. His 23rd chromosomes were (XY). If you get an (X) from him, you become a girl. If you get a (Y) chromosome from him, you become a boy. This all happens when your mother's egg is fertilized.
