The answer you're probably looking for is X. But you should be aware, that this is a label that applies only to species where females have two identical chromosomes (i.e. two X chromosomes) and males have different sex chromosomes (an X and a Y chromosome). This system applies to humans and all mammals, but other species use other systems. In birds for example and other species where males have two identical sex chromosomes and females have different sex chromosomes, males are said to have two Z chromosomes and females are said to have a Z and a W chromosome.
