Question

What are the differences Sex chromosomes from males and females

Answer 1

There are two types of sex chromosomes, X and Y. Females usually have two X chromosomes and are labeled as (46,XX) and males usually have one X and one Y chromosome (46,XY).

Answer 2

The sex chromosomes decide if someone is a boy or a girl. Males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX).

When a baby is made, if a sperm with a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, the baby becomes a boy (XY).

If a sperm with an X chromosome fertilizes the egg, the baby becomes a girl (XX). This is how we get different boys and girls.
