Every child receives 2 sets of 23 from his/her parents. One set from mom and one from dad ~ a 50/50 split, equaling a total of 46. It is the dad who will provide the chromosome that determines sex of the child.

And when one or more less, or one or more too many are passed on, then disorders occur. (Like Mongloidism, or Down syndrome)
