When a woman is pregnant, is the chance of having a girl or boy equal 50/50? Or are there like some biology stuff determining the odds?

It’s 50/50. While it has been believed or suggested that there might be a genetic disposition for a guy to lean one way, [genetic ](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1020555101059)and [population ](https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/18/health/boys-girls-run-in-families-wellness-scn/index.html)studies have been unable to support this notion. As far as we can tell, it is entirely 50/50 random chance.
