Yes, as in all birds, the penguin's sex is determined by it's chromosomes.
But interestingly the bird system is different from the one in mammals (including humans). Humans are female when they have two X chromosomes (and male if they have both X and Y), whereas two Z chromosomes make a bird a male (and females have both a Z and W chromosome).
38 chromosomes in one cell.
Cloacal examination. Differences in the appearance of the urodaeum are sufficient to differentiate between the sexes in the species examined.
Yes; it is not a sex cell and it has 2n=46 chromosomes, whereas sex cells have n=23 chromosomes.
No, 22 pairs of chromosomes are autosomes. The last, or 23rd, pair are sex chromosomes.
about 38 cells
autosomal chromosomes carry diverse info sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex ---- ok, that is some other dude's answer, now here is mine: the autosomal is all the chromosomes, except for the sex chromosomes. so, in a sense, the autosomal has nothing to do with the sex chromosomes. sex chromosomes determine the offspring's sex, as the guy above said it. autosomal is simply all of the other chromosomes ----- For A+ the answer is "Autosomal chromosomes carry diverse information; sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex."

the answer is sex chromosomes
the X and Y chromosomes
Yes
the answer is sex chromosomes
XY
The X and Y chromosomes are called the "Sex Chromosomes". Both the X and Y chromosome are part of the "sex-determining system" that helps determine the sex characteristics in humans. In the system, females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).

The Sex chromosomes
An autosome is any of the chromosomes besides the sex chromosomes which determine gender.
