Sex determination in humans is primarily based on the presence of the X and Y chromosomes. Females typically have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The presence of the Y chromosome is what generally determines male characteristics, as it carries the SRY gene responsible for male sex differentiation.
