This means it always gets a copy of the Y chromosome from its mother and the chromosome inherited from the father determines the sex of the offspring with 50% being males and 50% being females statistically speaking.

LOL@kxr being ninja'd! That was an excellent explanation and it actually makes sense. I think I may as well get used to feeling really stupid around all of you smart people for awhile until I get my mind wrapped all the way around this genetics stuff! lol
