Through the aid of chromosomes...

Explanation:

We have the #X# and #Y# chromosomes..

A woman has #XX# chromosomes, while a man has #XY# chromosomes

During copulation a woman must always release #X# chromosome, while a man can either release #X# or# #Y# chromosome..

Therefore, if a man release #X# chromosome, the child will be female having #XX# chromosomes..

But if he releases #Y# chromosome, the child will be male having #XY# chromosomes..

Sumarry

Female Sex is denoted with #XX# chromosomes..

Male Sex is denoted with #XY# chromosomes..

Hope this helps!
