Is there a difference in the chromosome number in males and females?

No. The only difference is the sex determining chromosome. Males have XY and females have XX. It is the sperm that determine whether a baby will be male or female. Eggs only provide X chromosomes. So down through history, it has always been an injustice that women were blamed for not providing a son. It was the male all along who could only offer the Y to make a boy.

While there should on average be the same number of males and females in a human population, the fact that the male "y" chromosome is lighter than the female "X" chromosome means that, in any population, there are slightly more males born than females, the male type sperm being lighter can swim slightly faster. So there are roughly 101 males for every 100 females.
