Gender of the child is determined by the male partner of the couple. Explain with reasons whether this statement is true or false.

Gender of the child is totally determined by the man. He is responsible, if the couple will have a girl child or a boy. During the zygote creation, it is the man who transfers either X or Y chromosome to the next generation, while the female contributes only X chromosome. Now, at the time of fertilization, if X chromosome comes from male, the child will be a girl and if Y chromosome is transferred then the child will be a boy. Hence, the women have no role in the determination of the gender of a child.
