Boy Or Girl? It's In The Father's Genes

A Newcastle University study involving thousands of families is helping prospective parents work out whether they are likely to have **sons or daughters**. The work by Corry Gellatly, a research scientist at the university, has shown that men **inherit a tendency to have more sons or more daughters** from their parents. This means that a man with many brothers is more likely to have sons, while a man with many sisters is more likely to have daughters.
