Best Answer

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.
