Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

One could select the sex of a child prior through the process of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). In PGD, ova are fertilized in vitro. After a few days of cell division, a cell is extracted from each fertilized ova and its sex chromosomal structure examined microscopically to learn of its sex. Embryos of the desired sex are implanted in the woman's uterus, where one or more can grow to term. However, implantation cannot be guaranteed.
