The X and Y chromosomes, also known as the sex chromosomes, determine the biological sex of an individual: females inherit an X chromosome from the father for a XX genotype, while males inherit a Y chromosome from the father for a XY genotype (mothers only pass on X chromosomes).
â¢ Number of chromosome is higher in a cell than the number of autosomes in a cell. â¢ Autosomes have homologous pairs, whereas some chromosomes have different pair: in a male, sex is determined by the XY. Reference. Taylor, D.J., Green N.P.O., Stout, G.W., (1998), Biological Science.
