The generally accepted theory is that males determine the sex because males can donate both an X chromosome or Y chromosome, while females can only donate an X chromosome to their offspring :D
Hope this Helped
The sex chromosomes that determine a child's sex are inherited from the biological parents. The father contributes either an X or a Y chromosome, while the mother always contributes an X chromosome. The combination of these chromosomes determines the child's sex, with XX resulting in a female and XY resulting in a male.
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."
The sex of the child is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents. Typically, a child will develop as male if they inherit one X and one Y chromosome (XY) and as female if they inherit two X chromosomes (XX).
The sex of a child in humans is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of a Y chromosome determines male development, while the absence of a Y chromosome results in female development.
The sex of a human is determined by the presence of sex chromosomes. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents at conception determines the biological sex of the individual.
gametes
The sperm cell, which is a gamete.
The sex of a child is determined by the sex chromosome of the sperm cell (which comes from the father). If it is a Y, the child will be a boy, if it is an X, the child will be a girl.
The father's gamete determines the sex of the child. Specifically, the presence or absence of a Y chromosome in the father's sperm will determine if the child will be male (Y chromosome present) or female (no Y chromosome).
The sex of a child is determined by the sex chromosome present in the father's sperm cell. If he donates an X, the child will be a girl, if he donates a Y, the child will be a boy. The historical or ancestral lineage doesn't have anything to do with the child's sex.
I believe the father of the baby determines the sex of the baby.
the answer is sex chromosomes

It was realized that the father determines the sex of the child in the late 19th century through the work of scientist Nettie Stevens. She discovered that sex is determined by the presence or absence of certain chromosomes, with males contributing both X and Y chromosomes to offspring while females contribute two X chromosomes.
The sex of the child is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents. Typically, a child will develop as male if they inherit one X and one Y chromosome (XY) and as female if they inherit two X chromosomes (XX).
In humans, which sex chromosome determines if an offspring is a male or female?
