How can you identify the difference of a female chromosome and a male chromosome?
What differentiates a male from a female based off the chromosomes that are present is that a male organism will have X and Y chromosomes whereas a female organism will have X and X chromosomes.
Does the mother or the father determine the sex of the offspring?
No, it is the male. The female eggs or ovum only have the x chromosone which develop into a female. The sperm have either an x chromosone or a y chromosone which carries the male sex determination. It is by chance and timing which one fertilized the egg first. If it is a x chrromosone then the offspring is a female. If the y chromosone fertilized the egg, then chemical changes occur resulting in a male fetus. No, it is the male. The female eggs or ovum only have the x chromosone which develop into a female.

It is found in both male and female chromosomes.....found in answer key
How can you tell if a karyotype is male or female?
There are two chromosomes that determine the sex of the baby, X and Y. The women's ova are always chromosome X and the male sperm determines the sex of the baby, having the option of being either X or Y. If the sperm is and X then the sex will be female, and if it is a Y it will be a male. XX=girl, XY=boy.
How many human chromosomes are common to both males and females?
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.
What sex chromosomes does a female have in all her cells?

What is the structural difference between male and female gametes?
The male has one x and one y chromosome where as the female has two x's. (mayhaps the male lost a limb and is only standing on one leg now? ;P Just kidding)

The sex of offspring is determined by the chromosome the female parent gives it?
hello, i add, meta-logically, may the single plate of DNA or genome which carry the symbol X be female, and the single plate of DNA or genome which carry the symbol Y be male, thus may the female child came from the female mother. thus the single plate of chromosome specify gender type but not the chromosome pair specify the gender type.
