I'm going to answer the question 'Are chromosomes responsible FOR inheritING the characterISTICS of an organism?'
Hope that's what you meant.
Chromosomes aren't responsible as such, chromosomes are bundled up strands of DNA, and the DNA is what's responsible for.... well, it's not really the characteristics, DNA, genes, describe the limits of an organisms characteristics, its GENOTYPE. The genotype plus the organism's environment are responsible for its characteristics, that is its PHENOTYPE.
Females inherit two X chromosomes.
boys must inherit the Y chromosomes from their father
Chromosomes are in the sperm, one sperm is either a female or male, its also in your dna once you've been "made"
Their offspring will inherit 23 chromosomes from each parent, resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes.
Most males have XY chromosomes while most females have XX chromosomes.
Females inherit two X chromosomes.
The sex of an organism is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes they inherit. In humans, individuals with two X chromosomes are female, while individuals with one X and one Y chromosome are male. Other organisms may have different combinations of sex chromosomes that determine their sex.

1.. they only inherit the X chromosome
Chromosomes are in the sperm, one sperm is either a female or male, its also in your dna once you've been "made"
eye colour, size of thumbs ext its all down to the chromosomes you inherit from your parents.
Their offspring will inherit 23 chromosomes from each parent, resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes.
Most males have XY chromosomes while most females have XX chromosomes.
Hereditary genes
The second baby in what is heredity animation does not inherit the exact same chromosomes as the first. Both babies d have a complete set.
Humans have 46 chromosomes because they inherit 23 chromosomes from each parent during reproduction. This combination of chromosomes is necessary for the proper development and functioning of the human body.
