xy chromosomes mostly fall on male gender.
A karyotype is a representation of an individual's set of chromosomes, showing the number, size, and shape of chromosomes. It does not determine gender; rather, it provides information on potential genetic conditions or disorders. Gender is typically determined by the presence of XX chromosomes in females and XY chromosomes in males.
boys
The sex chromosomes. XX is female and XY is male.
Sex chromosomes (XX = female and XY = male)
XY = Male XX = Female
A boy has one X chromosome from the mother and one Y chromosome from the father, making his chromosome pair for gender determination XY.
The 23rd chromosome in human DNA is called the sex chromosome, and it determines the gender of the baby. A chromosome of XX is unique to girls, and XY is for boys. http://www.genome.gov/10001772 This link is to the National Human Genome Research Institute, for more in-depth information.
Boys
46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes where 44+xx or 44+xy xx are girls xy are boys
The sperm. The egg is always an XX chromosome and the sperm can either by XX or XY if the sperm is XX it will be a girl if it is XY it will be a boy.Edit: Actually, all girls have XX chromosomes, and all boys have XY chromosomes. But eggs and sperm are gametes with half the chromosomes of the parents. So all eggs have X chromosomes, and sperm can have either an X or a Y chromosome.(So your intention in the answer was right, but just a small technical error.)
1:1. 50% chance of having either gender. ....x x x xx xx y xy xy
