"It is a matter of chance whether a couple will give birth to a male child or a female child."

“It is a matter of chance whether a couple will give birth to a male child or a female child.” Justify this statement with the help of a flow chart showing the fusion of sex chromosomes.

Since the sperm carrying ‘X’ chromosome and sperms carrying ‘Y’ chromosome have equal/ 50—50 chance of fertilizing an egg, thus it is a matter of chance whether a couple will give birth to a male or a female child.
