Chromosome pair 23 in humans is the pair of sex chromosomes. In females, both sex chromosomes are the X sex chromosome, and in human males one sex chromosome is the X and the other is the Y chromosome.
Pair 23 is the X and Y chromosomes that determine the sex of the organism.
sex chromosomes
23
There are 46 chromosomes per cell, with 22 pairs and an XX pair for females or an XY pair for males.
In humans, the somatic cells of both females and males have 23 chromosome pairs.
All organisms carry a set number of pairs of chromosomes, in humans it is 23 pairs. Of these chromosomes one pair controls the sex of the human. The sex chromosomes are called the X and Y chromosome. Females have XX pairing and Males XY.
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.
autosomal chromosomes
In humans, the chromosome pairs numbering 1 through 22 are called autosomes or sometimes somatic chromosomes.

Many scientists think the 24th chromosome fused together and that is why humans have 23.

No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
