Humans have one pair of sex chromosomes. They are called X and Y. The two determine what sex a person will be. Males have X + Y and females have X + X. There are some genes that are called sex linked genes found on these. The Y chromosome is very small and contains mainly the genes that make a person a male. There are few other genes on the Y.
