The father determines the sex of the offspring. The mother can only give the x chromosome and the father can give either an x or a y. XX= female
XY=male
Hope that answered your question!

Both parents. the mother always contributes one x chromosome and the egg waits for the sperm from the father that carries either the X or Y...

C. because the strongest ones from both sex cells are the ones that are taken in for the offspring.

Only the male generates the Y chromosome: all ova have X chromosomes.

yep, its good ol' dad. Too bad some cultures don't know enough about genetics to not blame the woman when she doesn't produce sons.
