Whether a male or a female is born cannot be predicted. Since the sperm provides either the X or the Y chrmomsome, whether it is going to be a male or female depends on which sperm fertilizes the ovum. There is no way of predicting or controlling this in vivo.

Some couples are more likely to have babies from one sex (either boys or girls).

This has both to do with the male sperm as with the female pH value in the uterus. Also the egg membrane "decides" which sperm (X or Y) to allow thru.

So woman "A" with man "Q" may only get boys while woman "A" with man "R" may get boys and girls or just girls.

It has to do with the chemical make-up / match of both parents.

If you already have 2 sons the chances of getting a girl are +/- 46%.

A very strict diet (of a maternal diet low in sodium and high in calcium, in combination with timing of intercourse well before ovulation) can raise this chance to 80%!

Interesting point: There seem to be more "all sons" (>3) families I know than "just girls" (>3) that I know off. Maybe the chances of getting a son after 2 daughters are higher than 46%. (I know many fam. of 2 daughters and then a son but none of 2 boys and then a girl...)

What is the third phase of mitosis in which the centromeres split?

The third phase of mitosis is called anaphase. During anaphase, the centromeres split, allowing sister chromatids to be pulled to opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers. This separation ensures that each daughter cell will receive a full set of chromosomes.

Is it true that the second child of parents who are already have a son has an equal chance of being either sex?

The chances of having a boy for the second, third or subsequent child are the same, regardless of whether the first child was a boy or girl. Slightly more girls than boys are born, so, strictly speaking, the chance of having a son is never 50/50.


What does third daughter of a third son mean?

A "third son" is the third son to be born to a person. A "third daughter" is the third daughter to be born to a person. So, if a person had three sons, and the youngest of those sons had three daughters, then the youngest of those daughters would be the "third daughter of a third son."

If my great uncle-in law has a daughter from a previous marriage what is my relation to her. If that daughter has a child of her own what would my relation to that child be?

Your great uncle, the man who married your great aunt, has a daughter from a previous marriage. Unless your great aunt adopted her, that daughter is not related to you at all, and her child is certainly not related to your child. Of course if the great aunt and great uncle married while the daughter was very young, she may have been treated as a member of the family by everyone, so she would have been treated as if she were your parent's first cousin and your first cousin, once removed. In that case, you might choose to treat her daughter as if she were your second cousin, and her child as if she were your child's third cousin.
