If a man has had four kids all boys from one woman and has a child with another woman because he has had all boys will he automatically have another male child? Asking about genes
 
Regardless of situation, there is a 50/50 chance to have a boy/girl.

You get 2 chromosomes, one from each parent. If you get 2 X's, you're a girl, if you get an XY, you're a boy.

Women can only give X chromosomes, so sex is dependant on the man. He will either give an X or a Y. And it is about a 50/50 chance, no matter what.
 
Men have an X and a Y chromosome (what the genes are on).
Women have two X chromosomes.
Upon conception, the woman will always give an X chromosome, while the man has a 50% change of giving an X chromosome, and 50% chance of giving a Y chromosome. If the man gives a Y chromosome, the child will be male, if he gives an X chromosome the child will be female. It is random.
So no, the man will not automatically have a male child. Also, the women he's with doesn't matter because she will always give an X chromosome.

Hope this helps.
