In 1910, Thomas Hunt Morgan discovered the sex linked traits to chromosomes.
Sex linked traits are the traits controlled by genes located on the sex chromosomes.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes 22 of these pairs of homologous chromosomes are called autosomes. The 23rd pair of chromosomes is called the sex chromosomes and is indicated by the letter x for females and the letter y for males.
If you are female then your sex chromosomes are homologous, XX, if you are male your sex chromosomes are XY.
