Question

Chromosomes from the mother control whether the child is male or female

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is false.

Answer 2

False.

Females have 2 x chromosomes so the mother will always give the child an x chromosome. Males have an x chromosome and a y chromosome, so if the father gives the child an x chromosome, the child will be female. If the father gives the child a y chromosome, the child will be male. So, chromosomes from the father control whether the child is male or female.
