A human has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). One chromosome from each pair comes from the mother, and one chromosome from each pair comes from the father. One of the 23 pairs determines your sex. The sex chromosomes are called X and Y.
- For a child to be female, she must inherit an X chromosome from each parent (XX).
- For a child to be male, he must inherit an X chromosome from his mother and a Y chromosome from his father (XY).

What does the 23Rd chromosome represent?
The 23rd chromosome is the sex chromosome. It is either an X or Y (strictly male) chromosome. When the sperm and egg cells fuse, they combine into 46 chromosomes with either two X chromosomes or an XY pairing. If it is 2 X chromosomes, the zygote is a female. If it is an XY pairing, the zygote is a male.
Which chromosome from the sperm is necessary to produce a female?
Y chromosome
What are the x and y chromazones?

Is an x chromosome and chromosome the same thing?
An x chromosome is specifically a feminine chromosome. With a x and y chromosome its male, with a x and x, it is a female.
