In a very simplistic explanation, women carry two ‘x’ chromosomes, whereas men carry one ‘x’ and one ‘y’. When a baby is conceived, the baby receives one of the mother’s x chromosomes, and then it receives either another x from the father or a y. This determines the biological sex of the baby. This is why it is said that you inherit your biological sex from your father’s genetics, not your mother’s. (4)
