XX for a girl and XY for a boy
The number of chromosomes doubles in comparison to the sex cells.
non-sex chromosomes
46 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes; total= 48
A supermale has the sex chromosomes XYY. A normal male just has 2 sex chromosomes, XY. A supermale has an extra Y chromosome.
The pair of chromosomes involved in sex determination is called sex chromosomes, rest of the chromosomes are called autosomes.
Sex chromosomes and autosomes are from the same chromosome, The chromosome has 46 chromosomes and 2 of them are sex chromosomes and the rest are called autosomes
An organism with 2 X sex chromosomes is female.
autosomal chromosomes carry diverse info sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex ---- ok, that is some other dude's answer, now here is mine: the autosomal is all the chromosomes, except for the sex chromosomes. so, in a sense, the autosomal has nothing to do with the sex chromosomes. sex chromosomes determine the offspring's sex, as the guy above said it. autosomal is simply all of the other chromosomes ----- For A+ the answer is "Autosomal chromosomes carry diverse information; sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex."
