Age, Gnetics and Gender: A new study of Harvard University has revealed that some families can have a role of science, not just luck, but also the role of science.

According to Harvard’s study, if a woman becomes a mother after 29 years, then the same gender children can be born.
Highlights
- In some families only boys or girls are born, which is a reason.
- The pattern is different in families where there are 3 or more children.
- It is more likely to have children of the same gender when you become a mother at 29+ age.
This study was only based on mothers, but researchers believe that father -related factors can also play a role in it. This study is just a beginning and in the coming years, this subject will be researched more deeply. So next time when you see only four girls or four boys in a family, then understand that it can be the effect of science, not just a coincidence.
