My Biology teacher told us that it is actually the Y-chromosome in the male sperm cell. Roughly half of the sperm cells are equipped with it, the other half carries a X-chromosome. Those determine if the baby becomes a boy (Y) or a girl (X). The y-chromosome is actually just a X-chromosome with a missing strand, therefore it's lighter and gives the sperm cells equipped with it an advantage in speed. The first cell to hit the egg wins, so y-chromosome carrying sperm cells have a slight advantage. It's marginal but it's there.

Hope I could help.

There are numerous factors that can contribute to differences in population between males and females, including social, cultural, and biological factors. This could be due to gender imbalances stemming from cultural preferences, gender-selective practices, or differences in birth rates. In some societies, there may also be issues related to access to healthcare, nutrition, or education that disproportionately affect females.
