Who is responsible for the baby’s gender? 👶🧬
Listen to Dr. Priyanka Sharma on this very important topic!
A common misconception is that the mother determines the baby’s s*x. But biologically, the male partner determines the chromosomal s*x of the baby.
The mother’s egg always carries an X chromosome, while the father’s s***m carries either an X or a Y chromosome.
* X s***m + X egg → XX (female)
* Y s***m + X egg → XY (male)
So, it’s not the woman’s responsibility—and certainly not her fault. Let’s replace myths with science. 🧬✨
