50-50
males have XY sex chromosomes
women have XX
each parent contribrutes one or the other at conception - Women can only contribute a X and the male contribrutes either the X or the Y. If the X is contribruted by the male the baby is a girl - and if the Y is contributed the baby is a boy.
Every conception is a 50-50 shot no matter what has happened in that family's history.

The odds of fathering a son or daughter is the same every freaking time....slightly higher chance of producing a son...almost 50/50, but a slightly higher chance. 107 boys produced to every 100 girls (this is actual pregnancies, but not necessarily viable births)... 50/50 if you count actual viable births.

I dont know the percentages I am speaking from experience. My husband was an only child and we got married and we have 3 beautiful daughters and all of his family (cousins,etc) have girls and my family there is only one boy and I am 8 months pregnant now and we were satisfied this was a girl to but we are having a boy so I would say it is 50/50 Good Luck...

Any random number generating question has the same answer. It's always 50-50. If you toss
a coin and it lands on heads 99 times in a row
and you feel the next one just has to be a tail,
you are wrong. There is a 50% chance it will be
another head.

Let's see......
a. He could father a boy
b. He could father a girl
Yep. They're right. 50/50.
(of course, if you consider the chances of twins, triplets, etc., it might change the odds slightly.)
Let's see....
a. He may father a boy
b. He may not father a boy
Hmmmm. Still looks like 50/50.
Hope you're okay with that.

The odds are about about 50/50........it would all so depend on the mother and her family.... like if the mother's mother and so on had girls or boys it would still be a 50/50 chance.

There are no way to break it down to odds..
just seems like the female gene carrying sperm are better swimmers in his family!
but really it's 50/50
