Answer #1

The egg is the female gamete produced after meiosis. The egg contains only 23 chromosomes (half of the original diploid number of 46 chromosomes). Of the 23 chromosomes 22 are autosomes and one is sex chromosome or X. The woman or female contains XX chromosomes. In two XX chromosomes, one is received from mother and other is from father. It cannot be sure that female making egg with X chromosome is received from her father because it can be either from the mother. But, over all it is possible for a woman to produce an egg with X chromosome received from her father with 50% of chance.
