2. Why can you say that males determine the sex of their children?

Since males have two X chromosomes, whichever one is passed along to their offspring will determine the sex.

Male chromosomes are inherited preferentially over female chromosomes.

Males will either contribute an X or a Y chromosome, whereas females will always contribute an X chromosome.

Y chromosomes are dominant; X chromosomes are recessive.

All of the above.
