Due to genetics, a child will be of the same race(s) of his or her parents. Race is often defined as a group of individuals who share genetic and/ or physical traits. However, due to the vagueness of racial definition, many consider race to fall under ethnic identity. The United States allows people to identify with any race(s) they choose, regardless of parentage. They may also identify with more than one race.

The sperm from the father can supply either an X-bearing or a Y-bearing chromosome. The egg from the mother can only supply an X-bearing chromosome. An XY combination produces a boy baby. An XX combination produces a girl baby. It might seem that the father therefore determines the sex of the baby, but some recent evidence suggests that the mother can select either an X-bearing or a Y-bearing sperm. See the Wikipedia article on "Maternal influence on sex determination."
