Your job as the genetic specialist of gender is to determine whether the family will have a boy or girl. Are you up for that task? Use the websites below to research the genetics of gender.  Then, report back to your team. What is the probability for the couple to have a boy? What about a girl? Also, while you are looking at the material find out which parent provides the genetic information to determine the gender of the baby.
