Best Answer

22 and 1/2 chromosomes are common to both males and female. The one that contains the X and Y chromosomes makes the difference. If you have X and Y chromosomes, you are male. If you have two X chromosomes, you are female. So both the male and female have got that one X chromosome in common.

The body cells of human males have what two chromosomes?

The body cells of most humans have 46 chromosomes, which can be arranged into 23 pairs. One chromosome in each pair comes from the mother and the other chromosome comes from the father. Of the 23 pairs, 22 pairs (the body chromosomes, or autosomes) are the same in males and females. The 23 rd pair, called the sex chromosomes, is different in males and females. In females, the sex chromosomes are the same and are called X chrosomes. In males, the sex chromosomes are different. One is an X chromosome (inherited from your mother or your father) and the other is a smaller chromosome called the Y chromosome (inherited from your father). So, the two chromosomes which are found in human males (but not human females) are the sex chromosomes, X and Y. See: http://biology.about.com/library/weekly/aa091103a.htm
