In human beings there are 23 pairs of chromosomes.Out of those,22 pairs are common for both male and female.But the 23rd pair of chromosome is different for both.It is the sex chromosome.It determines the sex of a person.In the 23rd pair,the chromosomes are X&X for females and X&Y for males.If the father releases X chromosome,then a girl child is formed and if he releases Y chromosome,then a boy child is formed.
There are cases in humans of XXY men (Klinefelter's syndrome), XYY men (XYY syndrome) and XXX and X women.
