The sex of a child is determined by

• whether the father's sperm contains an x or y chromosome
• whether the mother's egg contains an x or y chromosome
• the age of the parents

Males are more likely to suffer from a sex-linked disease or disorder because

• males are the weaker sex
• males have less DNA
• males have 1 X chromosome, so the disorder is more likely to be expressed
