There are two kinds of chromosomes the determine the sex of a child. The X and Y chromosomes. A male has an X an Y and a woman has an X and an X. When a man sperm meets with the unfertilized egg, half the DNA strand of a male(containing wither an x OR y chromosome) and half a DNA strand of a woman (containing ONLY a X chromosome) come together to determine the gender of the baby. As states above, xy=male. xx=female.
It is the chromosomes of the father that determines the gender of the child.
The chromosomes are called the X and Y chromosomes. If it are two XX then it is a girl if there are an XY then it is a boy. As a type of chromosome, they are referred to as the sex chromosomes.
This is true. Chromosomes exist in pairs; of our 23 pairs (or sets) of chromosomes, the sex-chromosome pair {I think Pair number 23} consists of 2 X(shaped) chromosomes in a Female and one X chromosome and one Y(shaped) chromosome in a Male.
The sex chromosomes are known as the X and Y chromosomes.
XX will lead to female development
XY will lead to male development
(There are other variations, but those are not normal)
Thus, it is ultimately the presence or absence of the Y chromosome that determines the sex of an individual.
The twenty third chromosome pair. XX-female XY-male
sex chromosomes... 0.0
The human X and Y chromosomes are:both present in every somatic cell of males and females.approximately equal in size.almost entirely homologous, despite their different names.called "sex chromosomes" because they determine an individual's sex.
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
the answer is sex chromosomes
XY

sex chromosome
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."

The sex chromosomes, X and Y, determine the gender of one's offspring. An X and a Y is a boy, and 2 X's is a girl.
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

the answer is sex chromosomes
the X and Y chromosomes
Autosomes are the chromosomes that are not the sex chromosomes. 22 of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes are autosomes and the final 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes, one of each received by the offspring by the parental generation (one from the mother and one from the father). Moreover, the sex chromosomes dictate the sex of the offspring; males have XY and females XX in most cases, but as long as there is a Y chromosome, the offspring is considered a male.
the answer is sex chromosomes
