Detailed explanation-1: -In most cases, the female is XX and the male is XY . Every individual must have at least one X chromosome. Since the female is XX, each of her eggs has a single X chromosome. The male, being XY, can generate two types of sperm: half bear the X chromosome, half the Y.
Detailed explanation-2: -Human follows XX-XY mechanism of sex determination wherein females have XX and males have XY sex chromosomes. During meiosis, all the gametes produced by females contain only the X chromosome (22 A + X), whereas males produce two kinds of gametes, 1/2 gametes with X-and 1/2 with Y-chromosome (22 A + X and 22 A + Y).
Detailed explanation-3: -Turner syndrome is a female-only genetic disorder that affects about 1 in every 2, 000 baby girls. A girl with Turner syndrome only has 1 normal X sex chromosome, rather than the usual 2. This chromosome variation happens randomly when the baby is conceived in the womb.
Detailed explanation-4: -Two of the chromosomes (the X and the Y chromosome) determine your sex as male or female when you are born. They are called sex chromosomes: Females have 2 X chromosomes. Males have 1 X and 1 Y chromosome.
Detailed explanation-5: -Each person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. The Y chromosome is present in males, who have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
