What does chromosomes mean-?
A chromosome is a DNA strand, that is comprised of genes. The two sex chromosomes are XX in females and XY in males.
What carry genes that determine whether a person is female or male?
Chromosome 23 determines whether a person is male or female. These are called the 'sex chromosomes' and they come in two varieties, X and Y. Females have 2 X's and males have 1 X and 1 Y.
Why are sex-linked traits more conman in males?
Because males have XY configuration of sex chromosomes and females XX. So in xy situation even the recessive gene can express. That is why sex-linked characters in males are more common than females.
What are the sex chromosomes in men and women?
X and Y are the human sex chromosomes. Normal females have XX, normal males have XY. In humans, it is the presence of a Y chromosome that makes a person male, not the ratio to or number of X chromosomes. (Therefore a person with XXY would be male).
What are the two sex chromosome?
The two human sex chromosomes are called X and Y. Females carry two X chromosomes, and males carry one X and one Y.

What are the sex chromosomes that make an individual male?
Humans have 46 chromosomes, with 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. Males have XY sex chromosomes while females have XX sex chromosomes. However, genetic disorders do occur whereby some males have XYY or XXY chromosomes, making the total number of chromosomes to be 47. Females have their own share of genetic disorders: Turner's Syndrome (single X chromosome) or Trisomy X (XXX). In normal cases the short answer would be: XY for males, XX for females.
Which type of cells contains 23 single chromosomes?
The type of cells that contain 23 single chromosomes are sex cells. The females would carry ova in the ovaries and the males will carry sperm in the testicles.
Chromosomes found in somatic cells and are perfectly matched in males and females?
In both males and females there are 22 perfectly matched chromosomes. The somatic cells in humans total 46 chromosomes. Females get the XX sex chromosome while males get the Y chromosome.
Why does the male determine the sex of a child?
Because males carry both the X and Y chromosomes in their sperm, they are the deciding factor when it comes to the sex of the baby. Unlike females who only carry the X chromosome.
