A female human has two X sex chromosomes in her cells. A male human has one X and one Y sex chromosome in his cells.
Female cells contain the sex chromosomes XX. A female gamete (ovum/egg) contains one X chromosome.
Chromosomes (autosomes), not including the sex chromosomes (XY - male, or XX - female).
A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in a person's cells. A human has 46 chromosomes in all but sex cells.
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, and are said to be haploid. In human sex cells there are 23 chromosomes.
The sex cells, or gametes, (egg and sperm) don't contain pairs of chromosomes. They each contain 23 singular chromosomes. When the egg and sperm combine, the resulting cell will have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
In animals, the male sex cells are sperm (produced in the testes) and the female sex cells are eggs (produced in the ovaries). These sex cells, or gametes, contain half the number of chromosomes (haploid) found in a somatic cell, which is diploid. In eukaryotes, including humans, the chromosomes are found in the cell nucleus.
Female cells contain the sex chromosomes XX. A female gamete (ovum/egg) contains one X chromosome.
Chromosomes (autosomes), not including the sex chromosomes (XY - male, or XX - female).
22 pair of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. A male determines the sex with XY chromosomes and the female only has YY. 23; half of the normal 46 for a cell. This is so when the male and female cells meet, they will form a normal 46-chromosome cell.
No. The sex cells have only one set of 23 chromosomes.
No. Biological sex is coded in the sex chromosomes of the sperm and egg cells that come together to make a person. From the moment of conception, sex is determined by these chromosomes.
Cause body cells have twice the chromosomes a sex cell has Body cells have 46 chromosomes and sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, and are said to be haploid. In human sex cells there are 23 chromosomes.

No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
One of the two types of sex chromosomes, present twice in female cells and once in male cells.
