        Do genetic combination of mothers play a significant role in determining the sex of a new born?

    Answer:

                    The mothers have a pair of X-chromosomes. So they do not play significant role in determining the sex of a new born. All children will inherit an X-chromosome from their mother regardless whether they are boys or girls. Therefore, sex is always determined by the other sex chromosome that they inherit from the father. One who inherits the X-chromosome of father will be girl while who inherits Y-chromosome of the father will be boy.
