In males, sperm contain only one sex chromosome. In females, eggs contain only one sex chromosome.
All human female egg cells contain X chromosomes, each cell only contains one chromosome. The male sperm cells can contain either an X or a Y chromosome (one or the other, not both). That is what determines the sex of the child, two Xs and its a girl, one x and one y and its a boy. -X
In males, sperm contain only one sex chromosome. In females, eggs contain only one sex chromosome.
Human sperm cells contain 23 chromosomes, including one sex chromosome (either X or Y), whereas human ova contain 23 chromosomes, including one X sex chromosome. This difference in sex chromosomes contributes to the genetic diversity of offspring.
In humans, body cells (somatic cells) typically contain 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. Among these, one pair consists of sex chromosomes, which determine an individual's sex: females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). In contrast, sex cells (gametes) contain only 23 chromosomes, including one sex chromosome, as they are produced through meiosis and are haploid. Thus, the sex chromosomes are part of the total chromosome count in body cells but are specifically designed for reproduction.
An egg will have the X chromosome and the sperm will have an X or Y chromosome.
Gametes (sperm and eggs) contain only one sex chromosome.

A female human has two X sex chromosomes in her cells. A male human has one X and one Y sex chromosome in his cells.
