There are two types of chromosome, called X and Y. Semen contains X sperm and Y sperm. If the Y sperm fertilises the female ovum, the child will be male. If the X sperm fertilises the female ovum, the child will be female. A man's chromosomes will be XY and a woman's chromosomes will be XX. The man's sperm always determines the gender of the baby.
