In our society the women are often blamed for giving birth to daughters.
Can you explain why this is not correct?
Blaming women for giving birth to daughters is scientifically incorrect and socially unjust.
Human sex is determined by sex chromosomes:
Females have XX chromosomes
Males have XY chromosomes
A child inherits one sex chromosome from each parent:
The mother always contributes an X chromosome (since she only has X)
The father can contribute either an X or a Y:
X from father + X from mother = girl (XX)
Y from father + X from mother = boy (XY)
Therefore, it is the father’s sperm that determines the sex of the child, not the mother.
