Father is responsible for child's gender

It good that, BV today showed that, the father is responsible for the gender of the child. Even now in many rural areas, people blame the mother.
Here is a brief description of how the sex of child is determined

The human body is made up of 46 chromosomes. (Chromosome is a DNA in simple sentence and DNA contains genes). Now out of these 46, 44 are actually pairs.......ie 22 pairs of chromosomes - one set from father and one set from mother. these 22 pairs are responsible for the development of different parts of ur body. Since u get half from ur father and half from mother, u'll have the features of both.

now the last 2 chromosomes are responsible for the gender of the child. These last two chromosomes can be of 2 types - X chromosome and Y chromosome. If a human being has X and X as last set, it will be female. and if it X and Y set, it will be male. As said above, u get half of the chromosomes from father and half from mother. So the kid will always get X chromosome from the mother. However, it can get X or Y chromosome from the father. If the kid gets x chromosome from father, then the last set of chromosome that the kid will have is X and X. so it will be a girl
If the kid gets Y chromosome from father, then the last set of chromosome will be X and Y, so it will be a boy.
So father of the child is responsible for the gender and not the mother

Wow...thanks!!

thanks lakshmi for posting

Who would expalin dadisa lol

true! thnx fr bringing it up =D

Well, neither the father nor the mother is responsible for the gender. It is purely a random process with a 50% probability of M/F. A father really doesn't have any control over deciding the gender. This process happens at a microscopic level, without any outside control.

So, saying that a father is responsible for gender of a child is not proper.

@theengineer.

The father may not have any control over the sex of the baby. But it is his chromosome that will determine the gender. So blaming the mother for something she doesn't even produce is stupidity. For this reason, it is said that its the father's responsibility (albeit involuntary)

Thanks buddy!!! You explained this so well... 👏 👏 👏
