Default RE: Question about fawns.....

Mother Nature says that each fawn has a 50-50 chance of being buck or doe. The egg supplied by the mother is classified as XX the sperm supplied by the father is XY. Each parent supplies one half of the genes to the offspring. The mother always supplies an X and the father supplies either an X or Y. Each fawn starts as an egg and sperm. therefore they have equal chances to become boy or girl.
