Answer:

(Wow! Weird how this pooped up, I just finished this biology lesson.)

Sex chromosomes are the gene that decides on our gender. The males have X and Y sex chromosomes (XY). Females have only two X sex chromosomes (XX).

More info: Because males have both X and Y sex chromosomes, their genes decide the offspring's gender.
