Researchers are wondering wether men who come from families with plenty of males have higher odds of fathering boys... And if the men had many sisters it would be more likely for a girl. A childs gender is lots of times determined by the father since men cast the deciding chromosome — either an X or a Y — while women produce eggs that carry an X chromosome. Researchers say that men carrying a gene determines wether the child will be a boy or girl and the percentage gets transfered into the sperm.

This is a really interesting theory. Due to my family having alot of boys too! I wonder if this affected what kind of gender i was going to be...
