उत्तर

Sex of a newborn in humans is genetically determined, that is, genes inherited from the parents determine the sex of a baby. If a newborn inherits one X chromosome from mother and X chromosome from father, this newborn will become a girl and if a newborn inherits one X chromosome from mother and Y chromosome from father, this newborn will become a boy.
