Which gamete determines the gender of the young?

In humans females are homogametic and males are heterogametic. It is the male biological parent who contributes the sex chromosome that determines the sex of any child.Human females are XX and all their ova carry an X chromosome. Females always give their children an X chromosome.Human males are XY and half their spermatozoa carry an X chromosome and half carry a Y chromosome. Depending on the sex chromosome in its biological father's spermatozoon, a child receives an X or a Y chromosome from its biological father.If a child receives an X chromosome from its father she will be XX and a girl. If a child receives a Y chromosome from its father he will be XY and a boy.

A child can inherit a phenotype that neither of their parents have through a new mutation in the child's DNA that results in a unique trait not present in the parents. This can be a random occurrence during gamete formation or early development that leads to a novel phenotype in the child. Additionally, there could be hidden recessive genes from earlier generations that are expressed in the child.
