What are the sex chromosomes for the male and female?

Answer 1

X and Y chromosomes contain the genes that will determine a persons sex. The pairing of the two that will allow the person to be a male is (X,Y) and if the person is to be a female the pattern will be (X,X). In terms of size the (Y) chromosomes is smaller than the (X) but the over all shape of the chromosomes are the same.

Answer 2

Those are X and Y chromosomes. To be a female, you must receive XX from your parents. In order to be a male, you must receive XY from your parents. So in a way, Y is the male sex chromosome and X is the female, although males also receive the X chromosome.

Answer 3

In humans, the sex chromosomes are XY for a male, and XX for a female. The Y chromosome causes male characteristics. You always get an X chromosome from your mother. To become a boy you get a Y chromosome from your father. To be a girl you get a X chromosome from your father.

Answer 4

Males typically have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). These chromosomes determine biological sex and play a role in various physical and developmental characteristics.

Answer 5

Sex cells are more properly called gametes. The male gamete is called a sperm cell and the female gamete is called an ovum.

Answer 6

Males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. In mammals, the Y chromosome contains the gene that triggers embryonic development as a male.

Answer 7

The chromosome pair that makes a female is XX and for a male, XY.
