What is the possibility that the child will neither be a girl nor a boy?

Answer 1

In traditional biological terms, a child is typically classified as either male or female based on their chromosomal makeup (XX for girls and XY for boys). However, there are intersex variations where individuals may have atypical chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex characteristics, leading to a situation where a child may not fit neatly into the binary categories of male or female. While the likelihood of being intersex is relatively low, estimates suggest that it occurs in about 1 in 1,500 to 1 in 2,000 births. Therefore, while most children will be classified as either a girl or a boy, there is a possibility, albeit small, for a child to be intersex and not conform strictly to these categories.
