Sex is the biological term and your teacher needs to know this correction!!
The Y chromosome determines the male sex, as the human morphology is female by default. The SRY control region on the Y chromosome begins it's activity to determine the male sex at about eight weeks into gestation.
Google SRY region.

How is gender inheritance?
Gender is inherited from your parent's 23rd chromosome. The (XX) chromosome pair is for a female and the (XY) chromosome pair is for a male. You get a (X) chromosome from your mother because she has two (x)'s. Her 23rd chromosome is (XX). It's your father's chromosome that determines what gender you are. His 23rd chromosomes were (XY). If you get an (X) from him, you become a girl. If you get a (Y) chromosome from him, you become a boy. This all happens when your mother's egg is fertilized.
