1 answer
The chances of producing a female offspring in this scenario are 50%. This is because the female gamete always carries an X chromosome, and the male gamete can carry either an X or a Y chromosome. When fertilization occurs, there is an equal chance of the offspring receiving an X or a Y chromosome from the male. Therefore, the chances of producing a female offspring are 50%.
