chromosome pairs separate
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Chromosome pairs undergo a process called meiosis during which they are divided. One of the pairs, known as the sex chromosomes, determines the sex of an individual. In humans, females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. These sex chromosomes are distributed randomly to sex cells during meiosis, resulting in the formation of eggs (in females) and sperm (in males) with varying combinations of sex chromosomes.

Yes it is. Gametic sex Cells have the genetic complement of 1N; somatic Cells are 2N.
How many chrosomes do human sex cells have?
humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes the last pair is the sex chromosome so the sex chromosome is its own chromosome. the sex chromosome decides witch gender a person is. and everybody starts out female the way you become male is if a y shows up.

X chromosome only
How the sex of a person determined?
Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46. There are 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. If you are male you have the XY chromosome.. making you a male. If you are female you have the XX chromosome.. making you a female. It all depends on the father, if the father gives an X chromosome... you have a girl. Because it combines with the mother's X chromosome.. creating XX(a female) If the father give a Y chromosome.. you a have a boy. It combines with the mothers X chromosomes.. creating XY(a male)
